pyvcloud
========

|ver| |build-status|

Python SDK for VMware vCloud Director and vCloud Air.

This project is under development, the classes, methods and parameters might change over time. This README usually reflects the syntax of the latest version.

New vCD support is located under `pyvcloud/vcd <pyvcloud/vcd>`_ directory.

Sample Usage
============

Import modules and instantiate a VCA object:

.. code:: python

from pyvcloud.vcloudair import VCA
vcd = VCA(host, user, service_type, service_version, verify)

Login to a vCloud Director instance:

.. code:: python

result = vcd.login(password=password, org=org)

See `changes log <ChangeLog>`_ for a list of changes.

Installation
============

The Python SDK requires the libxml2 and libxslt libraries, see `lxml <http://lxml.de/installation.html>`_ for more details.

On Debian/Ubuntu, you can install `lxml` and Python development dependencies with this command:

.. code:: bash

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev python-dev python-pip

On RHEL-based distributions:

.. code:: bash

sudo yum install libxslt-devel libxml2-devel python-devel python-pip

The Python SDK can then be installed with the following command:

.. code:: bash

pip install --user pyvcloud

**pyvcloud** can also be installed with `virtualenv <http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/>`_

Examples
========

See the `examples <https://github.com/vmware/pyvcloud/blob/master/examples>`_ directory for sample code.

Development and Test
====================

To run the source code, check it out from GitHub and install it with:

.. code:: bash

python setup.py develop

To log the requests, add the ``log=True`` parameter to the VCA constructor. The log is appended to file ``$TMPDIR/pyvcloud.log``.

.. code:: python

vcd = VCA(host=host,
username=username,
service_type='vcd',
version='5.7',
verify=False,
log=True)

To test **pyvcloud**:

.. code:: bash

git clone https://github.com/vmware/pyvcloud.git
cd pyvcloud
virtualenv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python setup.py develop
pip install -r test-requirements.txt
cp tests/config.yaml my_config.yaml
# customize credentials and other parameters
nosetests --verbosity=2 --tc-format yaml --tc-file my_config.yaml tests/00010_vcd_login.py

See `.gitlab-ci.yml <.gitlab-ci.yml>`_ for current tests.
