This is the documentation for psphere, native Python bindings for the vSphere Web Services SDK/VMware Infrastructure SDK.
psphere implements the following VMware SDKs:
- VMware Infrastructure SDK 2.5
- VMware vSphere Web Services SDK 4.0 and later
I’m currently developing against vCenter 4.1 so please raise any bugs for other versions.
See the vSphere Web Services SDK Documentation for further information on VMware SDKs at http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/.
# pip install -U psphere
Or if you want to use the latest development branch:
$ hg clone https://jkinred@bitbucket.org/jkinred/psphere
$ cd psphere
$ sudo python setup.py install
$ ./examples/connect.py --server yourserver.esx.com --username youruser --password yourpass
Successfully connected to https://yourserver.esx.com/sdk
