Goals
-----

There is so many beautiful tools like
`docker <https://github.com/docker/docker>`__,
`rocket <https://github.com/coreos/rkt>`__ and
`vagga <https://github.com/tailhook/vagga>`__ written on go and rust,
but no one on python. I think that is because there is no easy way to
works with linux namespaces on python:

- you can use `asylum <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/asylum/0.4.1>`__ -
project that looks like dead and with codebase hosted not on
mainstream hub like github
- or you can use
`python-libvirt <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/libvirt-python/1.2.13>`__
bindings with big layer of abstraction
- or just use native glibc library with ctypes
- otherwise subprocess.Popen your choice

I want to change it: i want to create native python bindings to glibc
with interface of python multiprocessing.Process.

Example
-------

First simple example:

.. code:: python

import os
from pyspaces import Container


def execute(argv):
os.execvp(argv[0], argv)

cmd = "mount -t proc proc /proc; ps ax"
c = Container(target=execute, args=(('bash', '-c', cmd),),
uid_map='0 1000 1',
newpid=True, newuser=True, newns=True
)
c.start()
print("PID of child created by clone() is %ld\n" % c.pid)
c.join()
print("Child returned: pid %s, status %s" % (c.pid, c.exitcode))

output:

.. code:: bash

PID of child created by clone() is 15978

PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
1 pts/19 S+ 0:00 bash -c mount -t proc proc /proc; ps ax
3 pts/19 R+ 0:00 ps ax

Child returned: pid 15978, status 0

CLI
---

.. code:: bash

space -v execute --pid --fs --user --uid '0 1000 1' bash -c 'mount -t proc /proc; ps ax'

.. code:: bash

space chroot --pid --uid '0 1000 1' ~/.local/share/lxc/ubuntu/rootfs/ /bin/ls /home/

| Note: If the program you're trying to exec is dynamic linked, and the
dynamic linker is not present in /lib in the chroot environment - you
would get the "OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory" error.
You'd need all the other files the dynamic-linked program depends on,
including shared libraries and any essential configuration/table/etc in
the new root directories.
