The python bindings are still very basic and cover just a few of the client features of openwsman, however, with just the limited functionality a lot can be done as can be seen in the newly checked in python code with CIM bindings.

The code can be found in subversion under the new sub-project pywsman. This is basically a simple wrapper around the bindings that full expose CIM data in a pythonic way. Code as simple as the following snippet yields useful data that can be reused in any python application:

Just found this announcement on openwsman-discuss:

"Starting with VMware's VIPerl Toolkit v1.5, an experimental version of Perl WS-Management library is included for infrastructure management with Web Services. The library currently supports 7 out of the 11 generic operations described in the WS-Management - CIM Binding.
The library is available for download at http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/
and the documentation for the Perl WS-Management library can be found at:
http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl15/doc/technoteWSmgmt.pdf

The library is completely written in Perl and tested with the help of Openwsman"

Openwsman supports the CIM data model using a special plugin which handles a CIM classes in a generic way. The mapping of the CIM data into WS-Management resources happens on the fly using the CIM binding guidelines published by the DMTF.

Currently the following features are supported:
