eppidtool's Introduction

eppidtool

The eppidtool package can be used to parse Dell ePPIDs, which can be found on various components inside Dell computers.

It also contains an CLI entrypoint, which can be used to quickly decode ePPIDs from the command line.

To use it, execute eppidtool or python3 -m eppidtool followed by the ePPID.

Requirements

Python >= 3.10 is required to use this package.

Optional Features

If pycountry is installed, the country of origin as specified by the ePPID will be displayed in a more user-friendly form (for example "Germany" instead of "DE").

To automatically install pycountry, install eppidtool with:

python3 -m pip install 'eppidtool[extra]'

Code Examples

from eppidtool.eppid import Eppid

eppid = Eppid.from_string("CN0WJPC49ZC00154836EA05")
print(eppid.country)            # CN
print(eppid.part_number)        # WJPC4
print(eppid.manufacturer)       # 9ZC00
print(eppid.year)               # 1
print(eppid.month)              # 5
print(eppid.day)                # 4
print(eppid.sequence)           # 836E
print(eppid.firmware_version)   # A05
