I am using vsphere-automation-sdk-python 8.0 in centos 7
with python version 3.7
Question 1:
Does this python SDK work on vspehere or vcenter or ESXI?
As I have provided the ESXI ip to the below script to list down the vms facing issue.
[root@v ~]# pip list

Tried to list vm using SDK sample code, which is not working.
# cat tt.py
import requests
import urllib3
from vmware.vapi.vsphere.client import create_vsphere_client
session = requests.session()
print(session)
# Disable cert verification for demo purpose.
# This is not recommended in a production environment.
session.verify = False
# Disable the secure connection warning for demo purpose.
# This is not recommended in a production environment.
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)
# Connect to a vCenter Server using username and password
vsphere_client = create_vsphere_client(server='<ESXi server ip>', username='xxxx', password='xxxxx', session=session)
# List all VMs inside the vCenter Server
vsphere_client.vcenter.VM.list()

Anyone one has any suggestion to resolve above issue.
