1. Proposed title of this feature request  
Provide a Python SDK for API consumption
  
3. What is the nature and description of the request?
A Python SDK should be provided, documented and supported for easier consumption of the Satellite 6 API in Python.
A Python SDK is already available for RHEV, this request is about providing equivalent SDK covering the Satellite 6 API.
  
4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
To facilitate the consumption of the Satellite 6 API in Python code.
  
5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)  
- A Python SDK for Satellite 6 is provided.
- The Python SDK provides the same level of functionality that is currently available in the REST API.
- The Python SDK is properly documented.

6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.  
- The Python SDK can be downloaded and installed.
- The Python SDK provides methods for all the currently available API calls and supports all options already available.
- The documentation for Python SDK can be downloaded or reviewed online and covers all aspects of the SDK.
  
7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?  
Somewhat related bug 1266580 (closed as wontfix).
  
8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?
Satellite 6.3.
  
9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?
