Requirements:

• Python 2.7.10 or newer (CloudPassage Halo Python SDK is not compatiable with Python 3)
• OpenSSL 1.0.2 or newer
• requests
• pyaml

Install from pip with sudo pip install cloudpassage. If you want to make modifications to the SDK you can install it in editable mode by downloading the source from this github repo, navigating to the top directory within the archive and running sudo pip install -e . (note the . at the end).

Here's the premise: you store your session configuration information (API credentials, proxy settings, etc) in the cloudpassage.HaloSession object. This object gets passed into the various class methods which allow you to interact with the CloudPassage Halo API.

Practical example: We'll print a list of all servers in our account:

import cloudpassage

api_key = MY_HALO_API_KEY
api_secret = MY_API_SECRET
session = cloudpassage.HaloSession(api_key, api_secret)
server = cloudpassage.Server(session)

list_of_servers = server.list_all()
for s in list_of_servers:
    print "ID: %s   Name: %s" % (s["id"], s["hostname"])
