PyWBEM Code

Addition to fix for bug 32: Moved check for invalid utf-8 and xml characters into error path, to make the good path faster. Changed exceptions that are raised, by using pywbem.ParseError instead of CIMError(0,..)

Fixed bug 32, by adding a checking function check_utf8_xml_chars() to cim_operations.py and by invoking it on the reply from the WBEM server for intrinsic and extrinsic method calls, and by adding testcases for that new function in test_cim_operations.py.

Released preliminary version 0.8.0-dev.r716

Added comments to cim_xml.py to explain why the EmbededObject attribute cannot be amended by an EMBEDDEDOBJECT attribute in support of OpenPegasus 2.6.

Fixed bug 30: Added support for CDATA based escaping, which can be turned on using the global variable _CDATA_ESCAPING in the cim_xml module. Extended the testcases to test both XML-based and CDATA-based escaping, and to test nested escaping (for nested embedded instances). Moved Python version check from cim_xml to __init__.

Fixed passing of command line options to testcases.

Released preliminary version 0.8.0-dev.r712

Fixed bug 29:
Fixed errors in generated MOF (e.g. in any tomof() methods):
- Missing backslash escaping within string literals for \n, \r, \t, \".
- Representation of REF types was incorrect.
- '=' in array-typed qualifier declarations was missing.
- Fixed size indicator was missing in array elements.
- Qualifiers of method parameters were missing.
Improvements in generated MOF:
- Changed order of qualifiers to be sorted by qualifier name.
- Added empty line before each property and method in the class for better readability.
- Method parameters are now placed on separate lines.
- Moved generation of method qualifiers from class into method. This changes the behavior of CIMMethod.tomof() to now generate the method qualifiers.

Released preliminary version 0.8.0-dev.r710

Added classifiers information to setup.py to make it suitable for PyPi.
