You can also just download the tarball. Once you have the py-vss directory structure on your workstation, you can just run:
cd <path_to_py-vss>
pip install .
macOS
You can use pip directly to install PyVSS. Run pip --version to see if your version of
macOS already includes Python and pip.
pip --version
If you don't have pip installed, first download and install
Python 3.7 for Mac from the downloads page of Python.org.
Download and run the pip installation script provided by the Python Packaging Authority.
curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py --user
Use pip to install PyVSS.
pip install pyvss --upgrade --user
Verify that the PyVSS is installed correctly.
pip freeze | grep pyvss

Use
Create an instance of VssManager passing your ITS Private Cloud API access token
and your are all set to start calling any of the self-descriptive methods included:
from pyvss.manager import VssManager
vss = VssManager(tk='api_token')
# list vms
vms = vss.get_vms()
# list folders
folders = vss.get_folders()
# networks
networks = vss.get_networks()
# domains
domains = vss.get_domains()
# power cycle vm
vss.power_cycle_vm(uuid='<uuid>')
# create vm
req = vss.create_vm(os='ubuntu64Guest', built='os_install',
description='Testing python wrapper',
folder='group-v6736', bill_dept='EIS', disks=[100, 100])
uuid = vss.wait_for_request(req['_links']['request'], 'vm_uuid', 'Processed')
# creating multiple vms
reqs = vss.create_vms(count=3, name='python', os='ubuntu64Guest', bill_dept='EIS',
description='Testing multiple deployment from python wrapper',
folder='group-v6736', built='os_install')
uuids = [vss.wait_for_request(r['_links']['request'], 'vm_uuid', 'Processed') for r in reqs]
# power on recently created vms
for uuid in uuids:
vss.power_on_vm(uuid)
# create snapshot
req = vss.create_vm_snapshot(uuid='5012abcb-a9f3-e112-c1ea-de2fa9dab90a',
desc='Snapshot description',
date_time='2016-08-04 15:30',
valid=1)
snap_id = vss.wait_for_request(req['_links']['request'], 'snap_id', 'Processed')
# revert to snapshot
req = vss.revert_vm_snapshot(uuid, snap_id)
An alternative is to generate a token from within the VssManager class and this can be done
by setting the following environment variables
export VSS_API_USER='username'
export VSS_API_USER_PASS='username_password'
Then, from the VssManager call the get_token method as follows:
from pyvss.manager import VssManager
vss = VssManager()
vss.get_token()
