Severity: wishlist
Owner: Benjamin Drung <benjamin.drung@cloud.ionos.com>

Description : Pure Python IPMI library
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a set of computer
interface specifications for an autonomous computer subsystem that provides
management and monitoring capabilities independently of the host system’s CPU,
firmware (BIOS or UEFI) and operating system. The python-ipmi library provides
an application programming interface (API) for using IPMI protocol within the
Python environment. This library supports IPMI version 2.0 as described in the
IPMI standard.
.
There are two ways to communicate with a server using IPMI interface:
1. IPMI over Local Area Network (LAN) using Remote Management Control
Protocol (RMCP) packet datagrams
2. Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) is an I2C-based bus
.
Features:
.
* native RMCP interface (using Python libraries only)
* legacy RMCP interface (requires ipmitool to be installed)
* IPMB interface (using the Total Phase Aardvark)
We want to use this library internally in our company. I plan to maintain this
package as part of the Debian Python Modules Team. Co-maintainers are welcome.
