Hi,
Does anyone knows a propper way to load the content of rules.mk files in a python script? I don’t know the estructure used for storing it, but I need to open it from python to process it and don’t know how to load from file
Example:
I read in documentation that this files are stored in some kind of python way and I’d like to know how to load them into a structure more easy to manipulate and read it.
You should really use the API for that task. The new REST-API is currently not able to edit rules but the older WATO-API is still available: Configuration via HTTP-API
I tried, but old installations like mine (1.4p36) doesn’t support this kind of requests to their API:
Witch new ones does:
I don’t know other way to get this information 
Not sure in which patch level of 1.4 but it was a request from us to be able to create rules with API. I will check with my colleague how it has to be used.

The werk should be this:
With 1.4 we had a special version of checkmk and I cannot really say if the change found its way in to 1.4 ever.
Documentation is here:
Anyway I highly recommend to update your installation.
Whish you good luck
