    I'm not sure where the inconsistency is?  Can you elaborate?<br>

    You can get the inputs from the tosca.inputs attribute without

            tosca-parser expects that the input values will be defined
            already and passed to the ToscaTemplate object in the
            parsed_params argument.<br>
            <br>
            If you change:<br>
            <br>
            tosca = ToscaTemplate(sys.argv[1])<br>

            <br>
            tosca = ToscaTemplate(sys.argv[1], parsed_params={'cpus':

            the output becomes:<br>

                    <div>I'm trying to use tosca-parser to parse CSAR
                      files. Its working quite well, until I hit a wall
                      with capabilities today. Specifically I am testing
                      with the single instance wordpress example CSAR,
                      which uses a get_input for the num_cpus argument
                      for host capabilities for the server.</div>
                    <div><br>
                      Based on how properties work, I would expect to
                      get a function back for anything which requires
                      referencing another value, but in the case of
                      capabilities I either get the hardcoded value
                      (strings, ints etc), or a None for values which
                      would be functions if we were talking about
                      prototypes.</div>
