It wraps AWX's REST API, allowing developers and operators to programmatically manage jobs, inventories, credentials, and other AWX resources from Python code or shell scripts.\n\nThe package depends on PyYAML, requests, and setuptools, making it lightweight to install. It targets system administrators and developers who need to automate AWX operations or integrate AWX into larger automation workflows. However, the project is currently paused for a large-scale refactoring into a pluggable, service-oriented architecture; while the repository remains active, users should monitor the Ansible Forum for updates on API stability and breaking changes during this transition.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to automate AWX operations or integrate it into Python workflows. The package is stable, permissively licensed, and has low install friction. However, be aware that releases are paused during a large-scale refactoring, and two security vulnerabilities are known; verify their severity and applicability to your use case before deploying to production. Monitor the Ansible Forum for updates on the architectural changes."},"id":"awxkit","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/awxkit","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/awxkit.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/awxkit/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-07-02","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"awxkit","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The official command line interface for Ansible AWX"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":618609,"position":5733,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":2},"version":"24.6.1"}
