The minimum Python version supported is 2.7.

Example of usage

For instance the following application has a components called server require a set of software (node>=6.2, ruby>2 and any version of wget) and Alpine as Linux distribution.

...
server:
  type: tosker.nodes.Software
  requirements:
  - host:
     node_filter:
       properties:
       - supported_sw:
         - node: 6.2.x
         - ruby: 2.x
         - wget: x
       - os_distribution: alpine
  ...

After run TosKeriser on this specification, it creates the component server_container and connects the server component to it. It is possible to see that the server_container has all the software required by server and has also Alpine v3.4 as Linux distribution.

...
server:
  type: tosker.nodes.Software
  requirements:
  - host:
     node_filter:
       properties:
       - supported_sw:
         - node: 6.2.x
         - ruby: 2.x
         - wget: x
       - os_distribution: alpine
       node: server_container
  ...

server_container:
     type: tosker.nodes.Container
     properties:
       supported_sw:
         node: 6.2.0
         ash: 1.24.2
         wget: 1.24.2
         tar: 1.24.2

         unzip: 1.24.2
       os_distribution: Alpine Linux v3.4
     artifacts:
       my_image:
