[syslog-ng] Is it possible to include a external python script?

[Jorge Pereira]

Hi Balázs,

Thanks for the answer. But, My question is: It is possible to include a
external python script.

e.g:

$ cat foobar.conf:

python {
   @include "caipirinha.py"
}

template-function foobar "$(python foobar)"

$ cat caipirinha.py
from foobar import foobar_template_function
# my python class/code is separated
...........

$

got it? maybe using the "confgen" module?
