Hey Alexandr,

If you wanted to do it using python, and you didn't have swift installed
you can use pickle and unpickle the builder. something like:

  import pickle
  builder = pickle.load(open('<path to builder>')

Then you'd have a python dict structure, where I think you can
'builder['devs']'

or with swift installed you can use the RingBuilder class:

  from swift.common.ring.builder import RingBuilder
  builder = RingBuilder.load('<path to object.builder>')
  builder.devs

Where builder.devs will be a list of dictionary objects. You could then
json-ify and output for java to read or put it into an easier to pass list.

There could be a much simpler way, but I'm a Python dev, so this is what
I'd do ;)

Regards,
Matt
