VMPython 0.1

This module is a translation from perl to python of the VMWare API called VMPerl.

The VMWare scripting API is fully mapped to python. To each perl class corresponds a python class with the same name, all perl methods are available from python on created objects. Each object created in python has its counterpart in a parallel perl process.

>>> import VMPython
>>> s = VMPython.Server()             # s is a Server object
>>> c = VMPython.ConnectParams()      # c is a ConnectParams object
>>> s.connect(c)                      # connect s using c
True                                  # success
>>> vm = VMPython.VM()                # vm is a VM object
>>> vmid = s.registered_vm_names()[0] # the first registered vm on server s
>>> vm.connect(c, vmid)               # connect vm using c
True                                  # success
>>> vm.get_pid()                      # PID of the guest process
'27502'                               # I get this number as a string
