Description: .. # README file for Pypi
        
        Pywbemtools is a collection of command line tools that communicate with WBEM
        servers. The tools are written in pure Python and support Python 2 and Python
        3.
        
        At this point, pywbemtools includes a single command line tool named
        ``pywbemcli`` that uses the `pywbem package on Pypi`_ to issue operations to a
        WBEM server using the `CIM/WBEM standards`_ defined by the `DMTF`_ to perform
        system management tasks.
        
        CIM/WBEM standards are used for a wide variety of systems management tasks
        in the industry including DMTF management standards and the `SNIA`_
        Storage Management Initiative Specification (`SMI-S`_).
        
        Pywbemcli provides access to WBEM servers from the command line.
        It provides functionality to:
        
        * Explore the CIM data of WBEM servers. It can manage/inspect the CIM model
          components including CIM classes, CIM instances, and CIM qualifiers and
          execute CIM methods and queries on the WBEM server.
        
        * Execute specific CIM-XML operations on the WBEM server as defined in `DMTF`_
          standard `DSP0200 (CIM Operations over HTTP)`_.
        
        * Inspect and manage WBEM server functionality including:
        
          * CIM namespaces
          * Advertised WBEM management profiles
          * WBEM server brand and version information
        
        * Capture detailed information on CIM-XML interactions with the WBEM server
          including time statistics and details of data flow.
        
        * Maintain a file with persisted WBEM connection definitions so that pywbemcli
          can access multiple WBEM servers by name.
        
        * Provide both a command line mode and an interactive mode where multiple
          pywbemcli commands can be executed within the context of a WBEM server.
        
        * Use an integrated mock WBEM server to try out commands. The mock server
          can be loaded with CIM objects defined in MOF files or via Python scripts.
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Requirements:
        
        1. Python 2.7, 3.4 and higher
        
        2. Operating Systems: Linux, OS-X, native Windows, UNIX-like environments on
           Windows (e.g. Cygwin)
        
        3. On Python 2, the following OS-level packages are needed:
        
           * On native Windows:
        
             - ``choco`` - Chocolatey package manager. The pywbemtools package installation
               uses Chocolatey to install OS-level software. See https://chocolatey.org/
               for the installation instructions for Chocolatey.
        
             - ``wget`` - Download tool. Can be installed with: ``choco install wget``.
        
           * On Linux, OS-X, UNIX-like environments on Windows (e.g. Cygwin):
        
             - ``wget`` - Download tool. Can be installed using the OS-level package
               manager for the platform.
        
        Installation:
        
        * On Python 2, install OS-level packages needed by the pywbem package:
        
          - On native Windows:
        
            .. code-block:: bash
        
                > wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pywbem/pywbem/master/pywbem_os_setup.bat
                > pywbem_os_setup.bat
        
          - On Linux, OS-X, UNIX-like environments on Windows (e.g. Cygwin):
        
            .. code-block:: bash
        
                $ wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pywbem/pywbem/master/pywbem_os_setup.sh
                $ chmod 755 pywbem_os_setup.sh
                $ ./pywbem_os_setup.sh
        
            The ``pywbem_os_setup.sh`` script uses sudo internally, so your userid
            needs to have sudo permission.
        
        * Install the pywbemtools Python package:
        
          .. code-block:: bash
        
              $ pip install pywbemtools
        
        For more details, including how to install the needed OS-level packages
        manually, see `Installation`_.
