NAME
dpm - Python interface to the DPM
SYNOPSIS
import dpm
DESCRIPTION
The dpm module permits you to access the DPM client interface from python programs. The
dpm module is a swig wrapping of the standard C interface. For detailed descriptions of
each function see the individual man page of each function.
There follows a series of examples of how to use selected functions and how to retrieve
the information returned by them: Examples are listing the replicas of a given entry,
reading the content of a directory, getting and setting ACLs. etc.

KNOWN BUGS
The current interface to the dpns_getcwd(3), dpns_readlink(3), dpns_seterrbuf(3) requires
the passing of str object which is modified to contain the result (in a similar way to the
C functions, which accept a buffer). However this breaks the immutability of python str.
This will be changed in the future.
