Introduction

psphere is a Python interface for the VMware vSphere Web Services SDK, a powerful API for programatically managing your VMware infrastructure:

  • Provision, clone and snapshot virtual machines
  • Query and configure clusters, host systems and datastores
  • Programatically configure ESXi hosts (i.e. for automation)

psphere can be used to create standalone Python scripts or used as a library in larger Python applications (e.g. Django).

Usage

>>> from psphere.client import Client
>>> client = Client("your.esxserver.com", "Administrator", "strongpass")
>>> servertime = client.si.CurrentTime()
>>> print(servertime)

>>> client.logout()

Installation

The latest stable version of psphere can be installed from PyPi:

# pip install -U psphere
