title: Getting and setting pillar values with saltstack python api
body: <p>I am writing some code that integrates with saltstack. I have been able to get the pillar values into a dictionary by using the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import salt.client
  caller = salt.client.Caller()
  data = caller.function('pillar.items')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I have had a hard time finding a way to set the data once I change it in python.</p>
  
  <p>Do you know of a way to set specific pillar values via the saltstack python api?</p>
