PyOpenHPI - OpenHPI wrapper for Python programs! (9/1/2006)

Yes, you heard right. The OpenHPI team presents its python binding module. There is no official release for this yet, but you can get it from the subversion repository. Even though this is in beta state, the module already features all of the APIs made available through libopenhpi and the very handy libopenhpiutils.

We would very much like to know what people think of this python module. So check it out, take a look at and try the examples. Make sure you read the README file before you start as there is some good information about usage and system requirements for building the module. I think you'll be surprised by how well the APIs have been adapted to python, but you be the final judge on that.

Assuming you have subversion installed, type the following to checkout the PyOpenHPI python module: 

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openhpi/python/trunk pyopenhpi

Enjoy and post your impressions on the mailing list.

OpenHPI 2.6.0 has been released! (7/31/2006)

The old non-daemon configuration is still available for debugging purposes, but you have to recompile the library with the right options, and it will not be the supported way for using OpenHPI.

Various features had been added to the 2.5.x development line for this release including:

For Assistance with installing/running the release, feel free to contact us via the mailing list or at #openhpi on irc.freenode.net.

Quality and Testing:

The OpenHPI team has worked very hard to achieve a high-quality implementation. As noted above, the current bug count is very low and is primarily in platform support versus interface implementation, feature support and/or specification conformance. The current release was based on a criteria taking into account both conformance and functional aspects of the code. 

 Platform: Intel Carrier Grade TIGPR2U Server with IPMI 1.5 .
 OpenHPI Plug-in: IPMI
 OpenIPMI Version: 1.3.16 (latest)
 ----------------
 Conformance results (hpitest):
 ----------------
 Total test cases: 530
 Pass: 341 (64%)
 Fail: 3 (<1%)
 N/A: 186 (35%)

*Note:  N/A means platform does not support tested features.
        IPMI plug-in currently does not support Inventory write/add functionality due to lack of support in
        current supported version of OpenIPMI (1.3.16).  This will be resolved once we start using
        OpenIPMI 1.4.x tree.
