python-redfish

This repository will be used to house the Redfish python library, a reference implementation to enable Python developers to communicate with the Redfish API (http://www.redfishspecification.org/).

NOTE - DRAFT - WORK IN PROGRESS

The current Redfish specification revsion is 0.91 - anything and everything in this library is subject to change until the DMTF ratifies the Redfish API standard v1.0.

Project Structure

This project follows the same convention as OpenStack projects, eg. using pbr for build and test automation:

doc/            # documentation
doc/source      # the doc source files live here
doc/build/html  # output of building any docs will go here
examples/       # any sample code using this library, eg. for education
                # should be put here
redfish/        # the redfish library
redfish/tests/  # python unit test suite

Requirements

To use the enclosed examples, you will need Python 2.7 (https://www.python.org/downloads/). Note that Python 2.7.9 enforces greater SSL verification requiring server certificates be installed. Parameters to relax the requirements are available in the library, but these configurations are discouraged due to security concerns.

Project python dependencies are listed in "requirements.txt".

Any test-specific requirements are listed in "test-requirements.txt".
