Tony Williams Part of XW18
This presentation demonstrates methods of querying the JSS using the python-jss module.
The methods demonstrated require only a small amount of easily learnt Python. I show how to search XML using the functions built into python-jss and how to quickly turn your explorations into a Python script.
Attendees of this session will gain a good understanding of why querying the JAMF JSS from Python is a good tool for JAMF administration and how easy it can be. As well as simple Python it will show how IPython can make it even easier.
