pybofh is an interactive XMLRPC client for a Cerebrum.modules.bofhd
server. If you don't know what Cerebrum is, you probably don't
want this.
We recommend that you use virtualenv to install pybofh.
python setup.py installpybofh --help
python -m bofh --helpYou'll have to build the pybofh documentation yourself (for now).
python setup.py build_sphinx
cd build/sphinx/html
python3 -m http.serverThen go to http://localhost:8000/.
For other documentation formats, see docs/README.md and docs/Makefile.
import bofh
from getpass import getuser, getpass
# Get a client by connecting to bofhd
url = 'https://example.org:8000'
cacert = '/path/to/ca.pem'
client = bofh.connect(url=url, cert=cacert)
# You'll need to authenticate to access restricted commands
client.login(getuser(), getpass())
# Call commands on the client object
try:
# formatted output
client.user.info('foo')
# structured output
client.run_command('user_info', 'foo')
finally:
client.logout()
