I'd be interested in such a module. On a related note, is there a central repository of EMC-specific Python modules anywhere? I didn't see an EMC Python community or anything like that (though I haven't looked very hard).
Have any of you considered working as a devloper on the existing Centera SDK Python wrapper on SourceForge? As this is an OpenSource Community Tool then there is plenty of scope for you to get involved in this!
The caspython module does work, but has a couple of pretty large bugs in them that cause the Monitoring API to be called over and over in a loop sometimes lasting 20-40 times. I fixed the error in my code and there were problems with the Build scripts on Solaris 10, but it works great for me now.
Lance - I can arrange to enable this for you. If you are interested in doing this, drop me an email (stuart_graham@emc.com) in the New Year and we can discuss it.

Very interested. I would also be interested in a Jython module ... which might be easier and more stable.

I wound up switching (at least for now) to Jython for scripting. It's not a
good long term solution, but it did get me somewhat up the learning curve. I
would love a proper Python API.

Unfortunately I do not know of any EMC related repositories for Python modules.
caspython (Centera SDK module for Python) is on SourceForge, but it is not maintained anymore. The person that wrote it was moved to a new department.
I found a couple of bugs in it and fixed them, but there was no way to push it back into the codebase.

Yes I have, but was not given any options on that. The original author just kind of dropped it and I have kept it working for my own uses.
I think there are a LOT of changes that need to be made to support the latest SDK features...

Lance - the wrapper was written by Stephen Hu. I will try and get in touch with him and get you added as a developer so that you can fix the issue.
