Good to hear that you achieved good results with CloudKitty.

There is no import/export tool for rating rules at the moment.
If you want to automate creation of rating rules you either need to
create a bash script calling the client. Or you can create your own
python script loading data from a file, let's say a csv. Then push the
data with the python lib.

Personally when a need to do quick setups of CloudKitty I just write a
bash script. But if you need something modular you can go with a python
script.
