Note
Keep in mind that this is a very early release, and is most likely buggy. If you encounter something, feel free to submit a pull request, or even just a ticket on Github.
It should also be noted that there is no actual modules written yet, just the API wrapper and cli functionality.
Space is a command line interface, and python wrapper, which gives access to the Spacewalk/RHN api via python and the CLI.
Some of the tasks and queries performed via Spacewalk UI can be cumbersome, and time consuming, especially if you work with a fairly large implementation. Space helps ease the pain.
~]$ space systems list -g test_group
If you don’t wish to use the CLI, then all methods are available via the swSession.call method.
from space.main import swSession
sw = swSession(
username='testuser',
hostname='test.spacewalk.blah,
password='password'
)
sw.login()
sw.call('api method', arg, arg, arg)
This section will cover basic usage of this tool.
Space is a command line interface to Spacewalk's xmlrpc api.
