Here is the python code I used for uploading images for branding.
+++ Python code ++
# This code worked with python 3.6
# This code is used to upload branding images on TP endpoints.
# It reads the IP addresses of the endpoint from a CSV file and
# The image file to be uploaded needs to be base 64 encoded. ( there are many online tools that can do this)
# The credentials module is used to get the username/password for the endpoint.
# When using an IDE like pycharm you need to run the code in debug mode
# for you to get the username/password input
import httplib2
import credentials
import csv
import socket
from multiprocessing.pool import ThreadPool
import datetime
#CSV file which contains the IP addresses of all TP codecs
filename = 'TP_List.csv'
#log path. configure complete path along with filename
Logfile = "TP_codec_config_update_report.txt"
with open(Logfile, "a+") as text_file:
text_file.write('\n' + datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%A, %d. %B %Y %I:%M%p") + '\n')
text_file.write("==========================" + '\n')
rows = []
try:
with open(filename, 'r') as csvfile:
# creating a csv reader object
csvreader = csv.reader(csvfile)
# extracting field names through first row
fields = next(csvreader) # python3
# extracting each data row one by one
for row in csvreader:
rows.append(row)
# get total number of rows
print("Total no. of rows: %d" % (csvreader.line_num))
lines = int(csvreader.line_num)
except FileNotFoundError:
print(filename + " Input file not found in current directory")
fieldindex = fields.index('IP Address')
codecIPs = []
for row in rows:
codecIPs.append(row[fieldindex])
print("codecIPs are {}".format(codecIPs))
username, password = credentials.get_credentials()
httpexception = httplib2.HttpLib2Error
# xml_file: contains the xml code to use to upload the image on the TP endpoints. As stated earlier
# The image needs to be base 64 encoded
xml_file = 'brandinglogo.xml'
# This function is where the magic happens. I am using request to open the xml file and then posting the content
# to the url of each TP endpoint based on the IP address obtained from the CSV file
# NB that http needs to be enabled on the TP endpoint otherwise you will get a 302 error.
def do_upload(ip):
try:
request = open(xml_file, "r").read()
h = httplib2.Http(".cache")
h.add_credentials(username, password)
url = "http://{}/putxml".format(ip)
print('-'*40)

text_file.write("The Status of Macros enabling on codec IP {} |---->>>".format(ip) + '\n')
text_file.write(str(content.decode('utf-8') +'\n'))
except (socket.timeout, socket.error, httpexception) as e:
with open(Logfile, "a+") as text_file:
text_file.write('failed to connect to {} : {}'.format(ip, str(e)))
def main():
''' This Section uses multi-threading to send config to ten TP endpoint at a time'''
pool = ThreadPool(10)
results = pool.map(do_upload, codecIPs)
pool.close()
pool.join()
return results
main()
