BigFix API Python wrapper #1

Open jgstew opened 2 years ago

jgstew commented 2 years ago

FYI, there is a python wrapper for the BigFix API. It doesn't currently have any functions for managing operators, but it is something I may add in the future. It does seem like this code is an interesting starting point for some of that functionality.

See here: https://github.com/jgstew/besapi

People are welcome to do the work to integrate with jgstew's wrapper library for the REST API. I think it is one very good way to work with the API.

I think I am unlikely to have time to do that work myself in the near future, but I welcome any pull requests to main that do the job completely, and I would also take pull requests that do a partial job on a new branch.

I see value in having simple, self-contained API cases like this out there that, while simple, attempt to be robust and fully functional. I am relatively new to Python (having spent decades in C, C++, and Java) so I also welcome contributions that add "good" idiomatic Python. I tend to write Python in C (it took me a long time to adopt "with" for example).
