Python VendorManagement Sample

Note: This Python example is fully based on the copyrighted Siemens example in examples\VendorManagement\. It serves as a direct port to demonstrate how to achieve the same functionality using Python and pythonnet.

This example mirrors the Siemens VendorManagement ClientX sample using Python 3.12, pythonnet, and the reusable session infrastructure in ClientX/. It demonstrates calling the vendor management strong services to create/update vendors, bid packages, line items, vendor roles, and vendor parts.

The sample covers the following operations using VendorManagementService:

  1. createVendors: Creates or updates a Vendor object (CreateOrUpdateVendors).
  2. createBidPackages: Creates or updates a Bid Package (CreateOrUpdateBidPackages).
  3. createLineItems: Creates a line item and associates it with a bid package revision (CreateOrUpdateLineItems).
  4. deleteVendorRoles: Removes a specific role from a vendor (DeleteVendorRoles).
  5. deleteVendors: Deletes a vendor and its associated revisions/roles (DeleteVendors).
  6. createParts: Creates a vendor part, either a Commercial Part or Manufacturer Part (CreateOrUpdateVendorParts).

Layout

examples/vendor_management_py/
├─ vendor_management.py   # Service helpers (ported from the VB code)
├─ cli.py                 # Interactive menu, mirrors VendorManagementMain.cs
├─ __init__.py
└─ README.md              # You are here

Running the sample

uv pip install -r requirements.txt
source .venv/bin/activate

python -m examples.vendor_management_py.cli --host http://GVWTCUPRODAPP.gvwholdings.com:8001/tc --verbose

You can also pass SSO options to mirror the C# sample:

python -m examples.vendor_management_py.cli \
  --host http://localhost:7001/tc \
  --sso-login-url https://sso.example.com/tc \
  --sso-app-id Teamcenter \
  --verbose

Authentication uses the ClientX.Session helper: credentials are pulled from TCUSER/TCPASSWORD (or SSO environment variables) when available, otherwise you will be prompted. The SSO flags simply populate TC_SSO_LOGIN_URL / TC_SSO_APP_ID (and TC_AUTH=SSO).

After login an interactive menu is shown. Enter the number of the service you wish to execute and provide the prompted data (matching the VB example). The script logs partial-error counts returned by each service to aid debugging.

Exit the loop by selecting option 7, at which point the session is logged out cleanly.
