Python SDK

Hi,

Python SDK is mentioned @ http://www.vmware.com/company/news/releases/vcloud-api.html

So far I've not managed to find it... Perhaps mention of a Python SDK was a reference to libcloud?

Can someone please clarify, because as far as I can tell libcloud is the only public Python based software tool compatible with vCloud REST API (v0.8 at the moment).

Thank you.

libcloud at present is still the closest python option I know of. Although it's largely compatible with preliminary v0.8 spec & TerreMark semantics.

For those interested, there is no Python SDK but here's the next best thing, a Python library:

Apache libcloud has vCloud v1.5 API support submitted to SVN trunk. Pending inclusion in v1.0 release.

I've never seen a vCloud SDK for Perl from VMware. I'd love a link if you have one.

An option for Python running VMware is NrvrCommander at https://github.com/srguiwiz/nrvr-commander and the blog that goes with it at http://leosbog.nrvr.com/category/nrvrcommander/ .

Almost 4 years later...  not sure if this is what you were looking for, but https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi

There seems to be a download link on vmware, but I couldn't get it to function...  I think the github repo is the same and latest.  Your question came up in a search while I was looking for it today, so I figure a pointer to github might save 15 minutes of searching for any others trying to get started...

and for some additional sample code:  https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi-community-samples
