It supports both local management via hponcfg and remote management through iLO's built-in webserver.\n\nThe package provides a straightforward API for common iLO operations\u2014querying chassis information, managing users, activating licenses, and other administrative tasks\u2014callable from Python code or shell scripts. It has no runtime dependencies, making installation and deployment simple. However, the project is aging: the last release was in 2021, and while the repository receives occasional commits, active development has slowed significantly.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you manage HP iLO devices up to iLO 4 and need Python automation. The package is stable, has no dependencies, and works across operating systems. However, verify compatibility with your iLO version (support stated only through iLO 4) and test with your Python version before deploying to production, as the project is aging and last released in 2021. Not recommended if you require active maintenance or support for newer iLO versions."},"id":"python-hpilo","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-hpilo","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-hpilo.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-hpilo/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-01-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"python-hpilo","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"iLO automation from python or shell"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":78517,"position":14437,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.4.3"}
