Hello,
more precisely foreman team is working on the CLI framework [1] used for
the next version of katello cli. It's written in ruby.

Anyway if you wan to use python bindings in your custom scripts, install
katello-cli and then in your script:

setup a connection

from katello.client.server import BasicAuthentication, KatelloServer,
set_active_server
kat_server = KatelloServer(host, int(port), scheme, path)
kat_server.set_auth_method(BasicAuthentication(username, password))
set_active_server(kat_server)

call the api

from katello.client.api.system import SystemAPI
api = SystemAPI()
api.install_packages(system_id, list_of_package_names_to_install)

See katello-cli's git for more examples.

You may also be interested in new ruby bindings for katello [2]. They
are a bit easier to use IMO.
