3.2. Python Example
The following example demonstrates the
user.listUsers call. The example prints the name of each group.
#!/usr/bin/python
import xmlrpclib
SATELLITE_URL = "http://satellite.example.com/rpc/api"
SATELLITE_LOGIN = "username"
SATELLITE_PASSWORD = "password"
client = xmlrpclib.Server(SATELLITE_URL, verbose=0)
key = client.auth.login(SATELLITE_LOGIN, SATELLITE_PASSWORD)
list = client.user.list_users(key)
for user in list:
print user.get('login')
client.auth.logout(key)
The following example shows how to use date-time parameters. This code schedules the installation of package
rhnlib-2.5.22.9.el6.noarch to system with id 1000000001.
#!/usr/bin/python
from datetime import datetime
import time
import xmlrpclib
SATELLITE_URL = "http://satellite.example.com/rpc/api"
SATELLITE_LOGIN = "username"
SATELLITE_PASSWORD = "password"
client = xmlrpclib.Server(SATELLITE_URL, verbose=0)
key = client.auth.login(SATELLITE_LOGIN, SATELLITE_PASSWORD)
package_list = client.packages.findByNvrea(key, 'rhnlib', '2.5.22', '9.el6', '', 'noarch')
today = datetime.today()
earliest_occurrence = xmlrpclib.DateTime(today)
client.system.schedulePackageInstall(key, 1000000001, package_list[0]['id'], earliest_occurrence)
client.auth.logout(key)
