Getting Started
To get started, see the
getting started guide.
You’ll need Python,
pip, and the
samples project.
Installing
The master is code that is in development, official releases are tagged and
posted to pypi
The official release is available using pip, just run
pip install --upgrade pyvmomi.
To install the version in github use
python setup.py develop for development install or
python setup.py install.
To install github’s version with sso support, just run
pip install -e ".[sso]" inside project’s home folder.
Testing
Unit tests can be invoked by using the tox command. You may have to
configure multiple python interpreters so that you can test in all the
environments listed in tox.ini or you will have to run tox with the
-e flag to run only in your version of python. For example, if you only
have Python 2.7 then tox -e py27 will limit your test run to Python 2.7.

Compatibility Policy
pyVmomi maintains minimum backward compatibility with the previous
four releases of vSphere and it’s own previous four releases.
Compatibility with much older versions may continue to work but will
not be actively supported.
For example, version v6.0.0 is most compatible with vSphere 6.0, 5.5, 5.1 and
5.0. Initial releases compatible with a version of vSphere will bare a naked
version number of v6.0.0 indicating that version of pyVmomi was released
simultaneously with the GA version of vSphere with the same version number.
