Opengrep Emerges as Open Source Alternative Amid Semgrep Licensing Controversy
Opengrep forks Semgrep to preserve open source SAST in response to controversial licensing changes.
The zhmcclient package is a client library written in pure Python that interacts with the Web Services API of the Hardware Management Console (HMC) of IBM Z or LinuxONE machines. The goal of this package is to make the HMC Web Services API easily consumable for Python programmers.
The HMC Web Services API is the access point for any external tools to manage the IBM Z or LinuxONE platform. It supports management of the lifecycle and configuration of various platform resources, such as partitions, CPU, memory, virtual switches, I/O adapters, and more.
The zhmcclient package encapsulates both protocols supported by the HMC Web Services API:
The quick way:
$ pip install zhmcclient
For more details, see the Installation section in the documentation.
The following example code lists the partitions on CPCs in DPM mode that are accessible for the user:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import zhmcclient
import requests.packages.urllib3
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()
# Set these variables for your environment:
host = "<IP address or hostname of the HMC>"
userid = "<userid on that HMC>"
password = "<password of that HMC userid>"
verify_cert = False
session = zhmcclient.Session(host, userid, password, verify_cert=verify_cert)
client = zhmcclient.Client(session)
console = client.consoles.console
partitions = console.list_permitted_partitions()
for part in partitions:
cpc = part.manager.parent
print("{} {}".format(cpc.name, part.name))
Possible output when running the script:
P000S67B PART1
P000S67B PART2
P0000M96 PART1
For the latest released version on PyPI:
Before version 0.18.0 of the zhmcclient package, it contained the zhmc CLI. Starting with zhmcclient version 0.18.0, the zhmc CLI has been moved from this project into the new zhmccli project.
If your project uses the zhmc CLI, and you are upgrading the zhmcclient package from before 0.18.0 to 0.18.0 or later, your project will need to add the zhmccli package to its dependencies.
For information on how to contribute to this project, see the Development section in the documentation.
