[chef] Re: Re: Re: Run "knife acl" using Python or Java

[Daniel DeLeo < >]

Knife ACL is ruby code so you have to either run it from Ruby or shell out to 
it. 

Noah maintains a Python library for interacting with the Chef Server HTTP 
API: https://github.com/coderanger/pychef

If you go the second route, you pretty much will end up rewriting knife-acl. 
Be forewarned that the authorization system has a fair number of edge cases, 
so you should probably make note of any comments and special cases in 
knife-acl.
