RHEA-2014:0657 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated rhevm-sdk-python packages that add support for RHEV-M 3.4 and fix several bugs are now available.

Description

The rhevm-sdk-python package provides a Python Software Development Kit to facilitate the development of custom applications and scripts that interact with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.

The package contains a Python library that simplifies communication with the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager REST API by providing an object-oriented view to developers.

Users of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager that need to build custom Python applications or scripts to interact with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager should install this updated rhevm-sdk-python package.

This update enhances the Python Development Kit so that it supports all the features introduced in version 3.4 of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.

Changes to the rhevm-sdk-python component:

• Previously, the '/api' path was hard-coded into the Python SDK for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. Now, this path is no longer hard-coded, and users must supply a URL that is then parsed by the SDK to determine the supplied path, providing greater flexibility for accessing resources using the Python SDK. (BZ#1038952)

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
