                               CIMInstance

A CIM instance, optionally including its instance path.

This object can be used like a dictionary to retrieve the property values.

Method Details

init(self, classname, properties=`{}`, qualifiers=`{}`, path=None, property_list=None)
(Constructor)

Initialize the CIMInstance object.

Parameters:

classname (Unicode string or UTF-8 encoded byte string) - Name of the creation class of the instance.
properties (dict or NocaseDict) - Optional: Dictionary of properties, specifying property values of the instance. The dictionary must contain one item for each property, where:
- its key is the property name.
- its value is a CIMProperty object representing the property value.
qualifiers (dict or NocaseDict) - Optional: Dictionary of qualifier values of the instance. Note that CIM-XML has deprecated the presence of qualifier values on CIM instances.
path (CIMInstanceName) - Optional: Instance path of the instance.

If None, the instance is not addressable or the instance path is unknown or not needed.

Default: None.
property_list (list of Unicode strings or UTF-8 encoded byte strings) - Optional: List of property names for use by some operations on this object.

Raises:

TypeError
ValueError

Overrides: object.__init__

update_existing(self, *args, **kwargs)

Update property values iff the property previously exists.

Update D from E and F: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] (if E has keys else: for (k, v) in E: D[k] = v) then: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]

Like update, but properties that are not already present in the instance are skipped.

repr(self)
(Representation operator)

Return string for CIMInstance in name=value form. Note that it does not show all the properties and qualifiers because they're just too big.

Overrides: object.__repr__
