There are some existing third party Python version of VIX available.

Note: none of these are supported or maintained by VMware.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyvix/ (hasn't been maintained for many years)

http://code.google.com/p/randomizedcode/downloads/list (fork of pyvix, doesn't seem to have much activity recently).

http://code.google.com/p/pyvmware/

If you want to do something quick and dirty, the ctypes module in Python will let you load the DLL and call functions:

http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html#module-ctypes

Hope this helps.

Oh thanks but I have soluted it yet!! I were seing the pyvix and pyvmware, but I don´t like because I want work in python 3.2. Using ctypes I have obtained that I need.

I call dll functions from a python module and work with them.

Thank you very much
