pyvmomi (vSphere SDK for Python) 5.5.0-2014.1 released!

The 5.5.0-2014.1 release of @pyvmomi is now available https://t.co/deHgZviLN1

I just saw an awesome update from Shawn Hartsock, a fellow VMware colleague. For those of you who do not know him, Shawn works in our Ecosystems and Solutions Engineering (EASE) organization and is the primary maintainer of VMware's pyvmomi (vSphere SDK for Python) open-source project. The pyvmomi project was open sourced since last December which I had written about here, it has received over 3K+ downloads and has a very active community. Much of this success has been due to the hard from Shawn fostering an active community around pyvmomi.

The announcement today from Shawn is a new release of pyvmomi at version 5.5.0-2014.1:

  • Download for pyvmomi 5.5.0-2014.1
  • Release Notes for pyvmomi 5.5.0-2014.1

As mentioned earlier, the pyvmomi project is a very active project and Shawn is constantly engaging with users looking for feedback, suggestions or requests for new samples to build. If you are interested in vSphere Automation and would like to leverage Python, be sure to check out the pyvmomi Github repository! Lastly, if you have written some cool scripts/applications or would like to request specific sample scripts, be sure to send a pull request to Shawn as we would love to see more contributions and collaborations from the community!

    There is a companion to the pyvmomi GitHub repo -- pyvmomi-community-samples. You'll find a bunch of pyvmomi samples already there. You can also create an issue and request a sample.
