Description: WMI - Windows Management Instrumentation
        ========================================
        
        What is it?
        -----------
        
        Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is Microsoft's implementation of
        Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM), an industry initiative to provide
        a Common Information Model (CIM) for pretty much any information about a
        computer system.
        
        The Python WMI module is a lightweight wrapper on top of the pywin32
        extensions, and hides some of the messy plumbing needed to get Python to
        talk to the WMI API. It's pure Python and has been tested against all
        versions of Python from 2.5 to 3.4. It should work with any recent
        version of pywin32.
        
        
        Where do I get it?
        ------------------
        
        * **PyPI**: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/WMI/
        * **Github**: https://github.com/tjguk/wmi
        
        
        How do I install it?
        --------------------
        
        ::
        
            pip install wmi
        
        
        How do I use it?
        ----------------
        
        Have a look at the `tutorial` or the `cookbook`. As a quick
        taster, try this, to find all Automatic services which are not running
        and offer the option to restart each one::
        
            import wmi
        
            c = wmi.WMI()
            for s in c.Win32_Service(StartMode="Auto", State="Stopped"):
                if raw_input("Restart %s? " % s.Caption).upper() == "Y":
                    s.StartService()
        
        What's Changed?

        Prerequisites
        -------------
        
        If you're running a recent Python (2.5+) on a recent Windows (2k, 2k3, 2012, XP, Vista, 7, 8.x)
        and you have Mark Hammond's win32 extensions installed, you're probably
        up-and-running already. Otherwise...
        
        
        Python
        ~~~~~~
        http://www.python.org/
        
        pywin32 (was win32all)
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/
        
        Specifically, builds 154/155 fixed a problem which affected the WMI
        moniker construction. You can still work without this fix, but some
        more complex monikers will fail. (The current build is 219 so you're
        probably ok unless you have some very stringent backwards-compatible
        requirement).
        
        makepy
        ~~~~~~
        (NB my own experience over several systems is that this
        step isn't necessary. However, if you have problems...)
        You may have to compile makepy support for some typelibs. The following
        are reported to be significant:
        
        * Microsoft WMI Scripting Library
        * WMI ADSI Extension Type Library
        * WMICntl Type Library
        
        If you've not done this before, start the PythonWin environment, select
        Tools > Com Makepy utility from the menu, select the library by name, and
        click [OK].
