As mentioned in the project README (see Client), there are two PyKMIP clients. The first, `kmip/services/kmip_client`, supports more features but is also a bit harder to use, requiring more knowledge of PyKMIP core objects to interact with properly. The second client, `kmip/pie/client`, was built to be simpler to use with a more Pythonic interface. It wraps the original client but doesn't expose as much functionality.
The PyKMIP clients are meant to be used in Python programs; they are not standalone applications and there is no CLI wrapper or utility for them. For examples on how to use the clients, see the different client demos in `kmip/demos/units` and `kmip/demos/pie`.
To run any of the demos, use the following types of commands.
To show help and usage information:
$ python path/to/demo/script -h
To run the client demo with a specific configuration section:
$ python path/to/demo/script -c section
where 'section' is the label for the configuration section you want to use. For example, if the client configuration section you want to use is:
[my_client]
...
you would use the following command:
$ python path/to/demo/script -c my_client
