Description:

pyvcloud.mishkin 12.5

pyvcloud
Python SDK for VMware vCloud. It supports vCloud Air On Demand and Subscription. It also supports vCloud Director.
Release early, release often.
This project is under development, the classes, methods and parameters might change over time. This README usually reflects the syntax of the latest version.
Sample usage:
Import modules and instantiate a vCloud Air object:
from pyvcloud.vcloudair import VCA
vca = VCA(host, user, service_type, service_version, verify)
Login to a vCloud Director instance:
result = vca.login(password=password, org=org)


Installation
The Python SDK requires the libxml2 and libxslt libraries, see lxml for more details. On Debian/Ubuntu, you can install the libraries with this command:
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
Of course, a Python dev environment is required:
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip
The Python SDK can be installed with the following command:
pip install pyvcloud
Use of virtualenv is recommended.


Usage
The SDK supports logging in to different type of services: vCloud Air Subscription, vCloud Air On Demand and vCloud Director Standalone. See the following code as an example:
import time, datetime, os
from pyvcloud.vcloudair import VCA

def print_vca(vca):
if vca:
print 'vca token: ', vca.token
if vca.vcloud_session:
print 'vcloud session token: ', vca.vcloud_session.token
print 'org name: ', vca.vcloud_session.org
print 'org url: ', vca.vcloud_session.org_url
print 'organization: ', vca.vcloud_session.organization
else:
print 'vca vcloud session: ', vca.vcloud_session
else:
print 'vca: ', vca

def test_vcloud_session(vca, vdc, vapp):
the_vdc = vca.get_vdc(vdc)
for x in range(1, 5):
print datetime.datetime.now(), the_vdc.get_name(), vca.vcloud_session.token
the_vdc = vca.get_vdc(vdc)
if the_vdc: print the_vdc.get_name(), vca.vcloud_session.token
else: print False
the_vapp = vca.get_vapp(the_vdc, vapp)
if the_vapp: print the_vapp.me.name
else: print False
time.sleep(2)

### Subscription
host='vchs.vmware.com'
username = os.environ['VCAUSER']
password = os.environ['PASSWORD']
service = '85-719'
org = 'AppServices'
vdc = 'AppServices'
vapp = 'cts'

#sample login sequence on vCloud Air Subscription
vca = VCA(host=host, username=username, service_type='subscription', version='5.6', verify=True)

#first login, with password
result = vca.login(password=password)
print_vca(vca)

#next login, with token, no password
#this tests the vca token
result = vca.login(token=vca.token)
print_vca(vca)

#uses vca.token to generate vca.vcloud_session.token
vca.login_to_org(service, org)
print_vca(vca)

#this tests the vcloud session token
test_vcloud_session(vca, vdc, vapp)


### On Demand
host='iam.vchs.vmware.com'
username = os.environ['VCAUSER']
password = os.environ['PASSWORD']
instance = 'c40ba6b4-c158-49fb-b164-5c66f90344fa'
org = 'a6545fcb-d68a-489f-afff-2ea055104cc1'
vdc = 'VDC1'
vapp = 'ubu'

#sample login sequence on vCloud Air On Demand
vca = VCA(host=host, username=username, service_type='ondemand', version='5.7', verify=True)

#first login, with password
result = vca.login(password=password)
print_vca(vca)

#then login with password and instance id, this will generate a session_token
result = vca.login_to_instance(password=password, instance=instance, token=None, org_url=None)
print_vca(vca)

#next login, with token, org and org_url, no password, it will retrieve the organization
result = vca.login_to_instance(instance=instance, password=None, token=vca.vcloud_session.token, org_url=vca.vcloud_session.org_url)
print_vca(vca)

#this tests the vca token
result = vca.login(token=vca.token)
if result: print result, vca.instances
else: print False

#this tests the vcloud session token
test_vcloud_session(vca, vdc, vapp)


### vCloud Director standalone
host='p1v21-vcd.vchs.vmware.com'
username = os.environ['VCAUSER']
password = os.environ['PASSWORD']
service = '85-719'
org = 'AppServices'
vdc = 'AppServices'
vapp = 'cts'

#sample login sequence on vCloud Director standalone
vca = VCA(host=host, username=username, service_type='vcd', version='5.6', verify=True)

#first login, with password and org name
result = vca.login(password=password, org=org)
print_vca(vca)

#next login, with token, org and org_url, no password, it will retrieve the organization
result = vca.login(token=vca.token, org=org, org_url=vca.vcloud_session.org_url)
print_vca(vca)

#this tests the vcloud session token
test_vcloud_session(vca, vdc, vapp)


Development
To test the current code, check it out from github and install it with:
pip install --editable .
To debug a python session, add this code:
import logging
import httplib
httplib.HTTPConnection.debuglevel = 1
logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
requests_log = logging.getLogger("requests.packages.urllib3")
requests_log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
requests_log.propagate = True
