It handles argument and option mapping (converting Python method calls and keyword arguments into Terraform CLI syntax) and captures stdout, stderr, and return codes for programmatic inspection. The wrapper supports all Terraform commands and provides special handling for flag-style options, boolean values, and multi-value parameters like `-target` and `-var`.\n\nYou instantiate a Terraform object, optionally specifying a working directory and default variables, then call methods named after Terraform commands (e.g., `.apply()`, `.plan()`, `.destroy()`). The package handles the syntactic quirks of Terraform's option design\u2014distinguishing between flag-style options (like `-no-color`) and value options (like `-refresh=true`)\u2014so you don't have to construct command strings manually. By default it captures output; you can disable capture to see real-time output in the terminal.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to invoke Terraform from Python and can tolerate aging maintenance. The package is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, but the last release was 2019-06-21. It works for basic Terraform automation, but verify compatibility with your Terraform version and Python environment before production use. High install friction (requires Terraform on PATH) is expected for this use case."},"id":"python-terraform","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-terraform","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-terraform.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-terraform/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-06-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-terraform","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"This is a python module provide a wrapper of terraform command line tool"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":236851,"position":8973,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.10.1"}
