sapnwrfc - A Python interface to SAP NetWeaver R/3 systems using the RFC protocol --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (C) Piers Harding 2006 - 2010, All rights reserved == Summary Welcome to the sapnwrfc Python module. This module is intended to facilitate RFC calls to an SAP R/3 system of release 4.6x and above. It may work for earlier versions but it hasn't been tested. The fundamental purpose of the production of this package, is to provide a clean object oriented interface to RFC calls from within Python. This will hopefully have a number of effects: (1) make it really easy to do RFC calls to SAP from Python in an object oriented fashion (Doh!) (2) promote Python as the interface/scripting/glue language of choice for interaction with SAP R/3. (3) make the combination of Linux, Apache, and Python the killer app for internet connectivity with SAP. (4) Establish a small fun open source project that people are more than welcome to contribute to, if they so wish. With this in mind - this package has been developed under Linux, so the installation is therefore focused on this. This does not mean that it will not work on other UNIX like flavours - to the contrary it probably will, it just hasn't been tested. Prerequisites: Please insure that PyYAML is install. This can be found at: http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAML . Installation: See the file INSTALL for installation instructions. Bugs: I appreciate bug reports and patches, just mail me! piers@ompka.net sapnwrfc is Copyright (c) 2006 - 2010 Piers Harding.
