hi: i am new to python and wish but am writing a program as both a learning experience and which may even get used if it is any good.
purpose of this program: is to retrieve and store (for historical purposes) system-info for multiple clients about multiple windows servers using tim golden's wmi<http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi.html>wrapper. broadly the algorithm is something like this. for each client for each server get-info(Win32_Process())) get-info(get-Win32_Service()) ... ... write-system-info (to-a-db) endfor endfor a call to any of these Win32_* classes returns a list of 1..n instances which have a varying number of attributes. eg Win32_Process will have attributes about processes, and Win32_Service() will have attributes about services. i'am pretty sure i will need to have a seperate table for each server component (eg a services table which contains historical info about services, and a process table which contains historical info about processes). but is appears to me there is there is a lot of duplication as each class always returns a list of instances - the only thing different is the name of the class (eg. Win32_Service() as opposed to Win32_Process()) and the attributes returned by those classes. so the things i am confused about: * what would be an appropriate class structure * is it possible to wrap somehow all the calls to the different Win32 classes and then do something with each different set of attributes that are returned. apologies - if this request seems vague, i can illuminate if asked specific questions. thanks mark
