Python Binding for Oracle<-Sun<-LSC SamFS API

This Python Binding is created by SWIG (http://www.swig.org) on top of the C-API. Swig for Solaris is available form http://www.opencsw.org.

A short intro to libsam:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris/libsam-139052.html

build:

define REMOTE and use --remote option for build RPC API

$ swig -python [-DREMOTE] samapi.i  
$ python setup.py build_ext [--remote]  
$ sudo python setup.py install [--remote]  

The return code 0 = ok, other = error, are mapped to python exception. Not all function are implemented yet, see samfs.i

For use the RPC API you have to set SAMHOST environment variable,
for config SAM RPC see also:
