Open Stack

Thank you. I will import the Heat library and use it to do the parsing.
I will give your news of my results :-)

cheers,

Adja

Yes, that shouldn't be a problem. You can import Heat as a library 
("from heat.engine import template"). As long as you don't call any of 
the methods that deal with the database (i.e. load()/store()), you 
should have no trouble.

Note that there are a number of template APIs (the ones that deal with 
intrinsic functions) that take a 'stack' argument. Originally we passed 
a heat.engine.stack.Stack object, but now you should pass a 
heat.engine.stk_defn.StackDefinition object. That should make things 
easier for you, because a StackDefinition can be constructed from a 
Template, and it doesn't deal with the database at all, so you can skip 
the complexity of the Stack object.

We look forward to hearing the results of your research :)

cheers,
Zane.
