A sample Python library for the Nuxeo Content Automation JSON-RPC API

I have created a sample Python library to illustrate the use of the Content Automation JSON-RPC API (described here: https://doc.nuxeo.com/display/NXDOC/REST+API).

The project, which is only illustrative and not officially supported by Nuxeo, lives here:

http://bitbucket.org/sfermigier/nuxeo-automation-clients/

Here are the functions that have been implemented so far:

def create(self, ref, type, name=None, properties=None):
def update(self, ref, properties=None):
def setProperty(self, ref, xpath, value):
def delete(self, ref):
def getChildren(self, ref):
def getParent(self, ref):
def lock(self, ref):
def unlock(self, ref):
def move(self, ref, target, name=None):
def copy(self, ref, target, name=None):
def fetch(self, ref):
def query(self, query, language=None):
def getBlob(self, ref):
def attachBlob(self, ref, blob):

And here is a sample interactive session to illustrate its use:
