| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| Openwsman is an open source implementation of WS-Management; enabling the in-band management of Linux/unix/Windows platforms. Openwsman supports the generic WS-Management protocol as well as specific protocol extensions for the `Common Information Model <http://www.dmtf.org/standards/cim>`_ (CIM). |
| |
| Openwsman provides 'C' language API by default and a 'C++' API in an 'alpha' state. For other languages, see the bindings. |
| |
| About this Python package |
| ========================= |
| |
| This folder allows one to build and/or install a Python package of the openwsman bindings. It has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) with libopenwsman v2.4.15. |
| |
| Building a source distribution |
| ------------------------------ |
| |
| Running ``python setup.py sdist``, from within this directory, will create a Python source distribution which brings in the required C/SWIG source and include files. |
| |
| Subsequent installation of this sdist assumes you have the necessary development headers and libraries installed system-wide. |
| |
| Alternatively, the ``OPENWSMAN_INCLUDE`` environment variable can be set during build/install, specifying a custom path in which to find the libopenwsman development headers. |
| |
| Building from within the openwsman source directory |
| --------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Running ``setup.py install``, or similar, from within the openwsman source directory, will cause the setup script to look for its include files in the source directory, as opposed to an installation path on the system. |
| |
| NOTE: Shared libaries will still be sourced from the standard system location(s). |
| |
| About the bindings |
| ================== |
| |
| The bindings provide the simplest way to perform WS-Management operations with Openwsman. |
| |
| Bindings exist for |
| `Ruby <https://github.com/Openwsman/openwsman/tree/master/bindings/ruby>`_, |
| `Python <https://github.com/Openwsman/openwsman/tree/master/bindings/python>`_, |
| `Perl <https://github.com/Openwsman/openwsman/tree/master/bindings/perl>`_, and |
| `Java <https://github.com/Openwsman/openwsman/tree/master/bindings/java>`_. |
| with plenty of examples in the respective 'tests' directories. |
