Python Bindings for OpenNebula XML-RPC API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building tools or automation around an OpenNebula deployment. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and has no known vulnerabilities. Install only if you have an OpenNebula server to connect to; it is not useful as a standalone library.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires OpenNebula server running and accessible at the configured XML-RPC endpoint; authentication credentials must be valid.
- Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution.

What it is and what it does
PyOne is a Python client library that wraps the OpenNebula cloud management platform's XML-RPC API. It translates OpenNebula's remote procedure calls into Python objects and methods, so you can manage virtual machines, hosts, networks, and storage pools from Python scripts or applications instead of using the command-line tools or web interface.
The package handles XML serialization and deserialization internally, working with lxml and xmltodict to convert between Python data structures and the XML format OpenNebula expects. It depends on requests for HTTP communication and grpcio as a runtime dependency. It's designed for developers building automation, monitoring, or orchestration tools around OpenNebula infrastructure, and requires a running OpenNebula server and valid API credentials to function.
Use it for
- Automate VM provisioning and lifecycle management (create, start, stop, delete) in OpenNebula clusters.
- Build custom monitoring or reporting dashboards that query OpenNebula resource state via Python.
- Integrate OpenNebula with external orchestration or CI/CD systems through Python scripts.
- Manage network and storage resources programmatically without manual web console interaction.

gRPC Python is an HTTP/2-based RPC framework that enables you to define and call remote procedures across network boundaries using protocol buffers for serialization.
Install it if you need RPC communication in a distributed system or are integrating with existing gRPC services.
execnet lets you spawn and communicate with Python interpreters across local processes, remote hosts, and different platforms, using a simple API for task distribution and inter-process messaging.
However, the aging maintenance status (275 days since last release) means you should verify it meets your concurrency and performance needs before committing to a…
Cloudpickle extends Python's standard pickle module to serialize lambda functions, interactively-defined functions and classes, and other constructs that the default pickle cannot handle, making it suitable for cluster computing and remote code execution.
Install it if you need to serialize lambda functions, interactively-defined code, or non-standard Python constructs for cluster computing or distributed execution.
Provides a unified, open()-compatible Python API for streaming large files from remote storage (S3, GCS, Azure, HDFS, SFTP, HTTP) and local filesystems, with transparent compression support.
Install it if you work with large files on cloud storage or remote systems and want to avoid writing boilerplate around multiple SDKs.
Portalocker provides cross-platform file locking with support for exclusive and shared locks, plus Redis-based distributed locks and process-aware PID file locking.
Install it if you need file or process coordination; the optional extras (pywin32, redis) are only required for specific lock types.
Ray is a distributed computing framework that scales Python applications from a single machine to multi-node clusters, providing abstractions for parallel tasks, stateful actors, and shared objects.
