python-jss Introduction:
========================

This project aims to offer simple, elegant, pythonic access to the Jamf
Casper JSS API.

Jamf provides access to the JSS and most of its object types through a
REST API. python-jss allows you interact with the API to create new
objects, list or edit the existing ones, and to upload files to
configured distribution points.

The level of coverage for convenience methods and properties is
primarily centered on Computer management, and specifically, those
aspects which factor into policy and package management.

Automating policy creation is streamlined; however, class
``MobileDeviceInvitations`` provides nothing beyond basic ``JSSObject``
methods and properties to the API. Those aspects which I use heavily in
our organization, and in support of
`jss-autopkg-addon <https://www.github.com/sheagcraig/jss-autopkg-addon>`__,
tend to be more fleshed out, whereas aspects of the JSS API that I never
use tend to be minimalistic. However, based on the code here, it should
be easy for anyone wishing to do so to implement a ``new()`` method for
those objects they're interested in, and I would be happy to include
them. Send me your pull requests!

Installing:
===========

The easiest method is to use pip to grab python-jss:

::

    $ pip install python-jss

If you don't have pip, you should probably get it:
https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html

Alternately, download the source and copy the python-jss package
wherever you normally install your packages.

Behind the scenes, python-jss uses requests and Greg Neagle's
FoundationPlist. Check them out at: requests:
http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ FoundationPlist is part of
Munki: https://code.google.com/p/munki/

Also, `my blog <http://www.sheacraig.com>`__ has a series of posts about
using python-jss, jss-autopkg-addon, and jss-helper, and solving unique
problems using these tools.
