F5 Networks Python SDK

Project description

Build Status

Introduction

F5 Networks BIG-IP python SDK. This project implements an SDK for the iControl REST interface for the BigIP. Users of this library can create, edit, update, and delete configuration objects on a BigIP device.

Submodules

bigip

Python API for configuring objects on a BIG-IP device and gathering information from the device via the REST API.

Installation

$> pip install f5-sdk

NOTE: If you are using a pre-release version you must use the --pre option for the pip command.

Usage

from f5.bigip import BigIP

# Connect to the BigIP
bigip = BigIP("bigip.example.com", "admin", "somepassword")

# Get a list of all pools on the BigIP and print their name and their
# members' name
pools = bigip.ltm.pools.get_collection()
for pool in pools:
    print pool.name
    for member in pool.members:
        print member.name

# Create a new pool on the BigIP
mypool = bigip.ltm.pools.pool.create(name='mypool', partition='Common')

# Load an existing pool and update its description
pool_a = bigip.ltm.pools.pool.load(name='mypool', partition='Common')
pool_a.description = "New description"
pool_a.update()

# Delete a pool if it exists
if bigip.ltm.pools.pool.exists(name='mypool', partition='Common'):
    pool_b = bigip.ltm.pools.pool.load(name='oldpool', partition='Common')
    pool_b.delete()

Test

Before you open a pull request, your code must have passing pytest unit tests. In addition, you should include a set of functional tests written to use a real BIG-IP device for testing. Information on how to run our set of tests is included below.

Unit Tests

We use pytest for our unit tests.

  1. If you haven’t already, install the required test packages and the requirements.txt in your virtual environment.

    $ pip install hacking pytest pytest-cov
    $ pip install -r requirements.txt
  2. Run the tests and produce a coverage report. The --cov-report=html will create a htmlcov/ directory that you can view in your browser to see the missing lines of code.

    py.test --cov ./icontrol --cov-report=html
    open htmlcov/index.html

Style Checks

We use the hacking module for our style checks (installed as part of step 1 in the Unit Test section).

flake8 ./
