Requirements: requests >= 2.28

---

Quick Start

from kaytus_sdk import KaytusClient

with KaytusClient("10.255.40.100", "admin", "password") as bmc:
    print(bmc.system.overview())
    print(bmc.system.fan_summary())
    print(bmc.network.summary())

---

Bulk Operations

Run any operation across a range of servers concurrently:

from kaytus_sdk import bulk_run, ip_range, bulk_summary

results = bulk_run(
    hosts     = ip_range("10.255.40", 100, 130),
    username  = "admin",
    password  = "password",
    operation = lambda c: c.system.overview(),
)
print(bulk_summary(results))

Error Handling

from kaytus_sdk import (
    KaytusAuthError,
    KaytusConnectionError,
    KaytusHTTPError,
    KaytusETagError,
    KaytusNotFoundError,
)

try:
    with KaytusClient("10.255.40.100", "admin", "password") as bmc:
        bmc.system.overview()
except KaytusConnectionError:
    print("Host unreachable or timed out")
except KaytusAuthError:
    print("Invalid credentials")
except KaytusHTTPError as e:
    print(f"HTTP error: {e.status_code}")

Notes

• All PATCH operations are ETag-aware. The client handles ETag retrieval and stale-ETag retries automatically.
• Some BMC firmware versions return HTTP 400 for successful PATCH/POST operations. The SDK detects and handles this known firmware behaviour.
• SSL certificate verification is disabled by default (verify_ssl=False). Pass verify_ssl=True to enforce it.
