Scripting WSMAN clients using Python
1. Use Python version 2.7. Make sure this version is installed on your system and take care of
version conflicts, if any. If you need help, refer to the python release site. We recommend
this version of Python to leverage many of the list and xml tree iteration features that you
can use in processing WSMAN’s CIM XML output format.
2. If you need references to implemented WSMAN scripts, refer to the python script packages
from Dell Tech Center.
