Hi,
from now, there is a preferred way, how to filter instances and instance names by using a dictionary. The old means of filtering still works, as well.
Examples (with networking provider):
eth0 = cimv2.LMI_IPNetworkConnection.first_instance(key="Name", value="eth0")
vs.
eth0 = cimv2.LMI_IPNetworkConnection.first_instance({"Name" : "eth0"})
The main reason, why we switched to this is: there can be more filter elements present:
active_ifs = cimv2.LMI_IPNetworkConnection.instances({"EnabledDefault" : 2, "OperatingStatus" : 16})
Cheers

Do we need to use the magic numbers, or can we use something like "OperatingStatus" : on ?

That's a major piece of usability. In the python-world, we probably want this to be represented by something like an enum:
OperatingStatus.ON OperatingStatus.OFF
etc.

It is on a todo list in the track (fedorahosted.org).

This ticket specifically mentions JobStatus values; will the implementation support every case where magic numbers are used, or is the implementation on a function by function basis?
