Python wrapper for vCO?

I see more and more libraries and example code for Python, and it is sort of the powershell for Unix at this point.

Has anyone written a wrapper for Python in vCO yet? Or some simple code to handle parameter passing and result parsing, maybe even object (de)serialization?

This project was released a few years ago: PyvCO – VMware Labs   ... I don't do anything with Python but that came to mind when I saw your post..

Hehe yeah I was kind of expecting that to come up, but that's actually the complete opposite way - it's a library for Python which consumes the vCO SOAP (not REST, so deprecated at this point) API. But is an excellent example of why having a Python driver or wrapper would be very useful - there are tons of Python libraries to abstract away things like the webservice dance, and almost none for JavaScript.
