The SDK was meant to be language neutral since we support so many toolkits out there with such different language semantics, it's hard to write an SDK for a Web Service API that accommodates all the variants out there.

 

 

The biggest issue that Perl and Python developers face is that of the use of 2-d arrays in our APIs and how to code them. The strongly bound languages that have client proxy generation bypass this issue, but unfortunately the Perl and Python (and Php for that matter) will have to keep working at it until we get a better set of strongly bound client libraries for those languages.

 

 

I'm not a Python developer and the Python libraries for iControl were developed more as a community project so hopefully anything that you learn along the way, you would be willing to share it back with the community either as the form of a tech tip, forum post, or samples in the CodeShare.
