1. Ucsmsdk v
UCS Python SDK

2. What is it? Python language binding to interface with Cisco UCSM
APIs for CRUD operations
Open source
On Pypi
Apache License, Version 2.0
Not backward compatible with the earlier ucssdk 0.8.x

3. Installation using pip: using github: pip install ucsmsdk
git clone
cd ucsmsdk
make install

4. Design and usability Changes
Every UCS managed object type is abstracted as a python class.
Better code Writing/Reading by specifying the objects directly.
CRUD APIs are simplified for usability
Async API – Ability to watch for Ucs events
convert_to_ucs_python – API to generate python script for operations done on the UI
Low runtime memory usage
Client side filter support (in addition to having server side filters)
Client side parameter validation
Samples packaged with the SDK
Auto-generation of API reference documentation
PEP8 compliance

5. Convert to ucs python
Helps a user to get kick-started with ucsmsdk without having pre-requisite knowledge of Ucs Object Model or python sdk itself.
Ability to generate python script based on operations done on UCSM Java based UI

6. Filters
Filters can be specified as pure strings now, without the need of creating filters objects.
filter = ‘(prop1, value1)’
filter = ‘(prop1, value1) or (prop2, value2)’
filter = ‘’’(prop1, value1, type="eq") and ((prop2, value2) or (prop2, value3))’’’
filter = ‘’’(prop1, value1, type="re", flag="I") and ((prop2, value2) or (prop2, value3))’’’

7. Event-handling
Async APIs are provided to tap into Ucs event channel and look for specified conditions
A poll-mode is also support if desired

8. Structural changes Code is restructured to ease usability
Changes to enable community contribution
Additional documentation and tests

9. Community email slack ucs-python@cisco.com
We are on Slack - slack requires registration, but the ucspython team is open invitation to anyone to register here
