Package pywbem :: Module cim_obj

Module cim_obj

Representations of CIM objects, and a case-insensitive dictionary.

In general we try to map CIM objects directly into Python primitives, except when that is not possible or would be ambiguous. For example, CIM class names are simply Python strings, but a class path is represented as a special Python object.

These objects can also be mapped back into CIM-XML, by their tocimxml() method which returns a CIM-XML string.

Classes
	CIMClassName A CIM class path.
	CIMProperty Defines a CIM property including cim type, value, and possibly qualifiers.
	CIMInstanceName A CIM instance path (aka instance name).
	CIMInstance A CIM instance, optionally including its instance path.
	CIMClass Create an instance of CIMClass, a CIM class with classname, properties, methods, qualifiers, and superclass name.
	CIMMethod A CIM method.
	CIMParameter A CIM parameter.
	CIMQualifier A CIM qualifier value.
	CIMQualifierDeclaration A CIM qualifier type.
