psphere's Issues

Get vm ipaddress

I'm trying to run this code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import os
import sys
import time
import ConfigParser
from psphere.client import Client
from psphere.managedobjects import VirtualMachine
from pprint import pprint

client = Client("myHost", "Administrator", "myPassword")
vms = VirtualMachine.all(client)
for vm in vms:
    vm.summary.guest.ipAddress
    vm.config.hardware.memoryMB

And I get the following:

No handlers could be found for logger "psphere.config"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./vmware2.py", line 15, in <module>
    vm.summary.guest.ipAddress
AttributeError: VirtualMachineGuestSummary instance has no attribute 'ipAddress'

What I'm I doing wrong?

Please move from suds to something like pysimplesoap

As reported in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=788086 ,
suds is not maintained for long time since, so will be removed from Debian
in next release. Then, psphere package will also be removed.

Bug reported suggests replace subs with other implementation. For example,
pysimplesoap is maintained and python3 ready.

Could you consider to move it from depending suds?

psphere isn't threadsage

When uses in a threaded environment psphere raise KeyError or AttributeError exceptions.
For more detail, see: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/python/1005860

The issue is that psphere uses suds which isn't threadsafe. In case of a threaded environement, the suds client must be cloned.

Also, there's a know issue in suds. See: https://fedorahosted.org/suds/attachment/ticket/435/suds-binding-race-condition.patch

example from main page not working with 0.5.3

The example on the mainpage, getting the timestamp does not work:

from psphere.client import Client
No handlers could be found for logger "psphere.config"

VM annotation

I haven't found how to update VM's annotation from within psphere (vm.summary.config.annotation). I would like to set some metadata in there.

Is it a missing feature or I was blind and haven't found that?

Error in Importing OVF : ImportVApp

Hi,
I want to import ovf using psphere and when I called ImportVApp funtion its throwing an error. First I have created ovfDescriptor then pass this ovfDescriptor to create ImportOvfSpecParam and so far I have successfully executed my code. But in last step of calling ImportVApp() it's throwing an error message.

Error:
ImportVApp Type not found: 'configSpec':

Code where error lies:
httpNfcLease = rp.ImportVApp(spec= ovfImportResult.importSpec, folder= vmfolder,host= host)

Python 3 compatibility?

What is the status on Python 3 support?

StoragePod mob doesn't map correctly to returned results

StoragePod is the new Folder reference for Storage DRS pools. Currently, in the supported vmware platform you can do find_entity_views(mo_ref => 'StoragePod')...etc.

In psphere, this should work like a Datastore, HostSystem, ComputeResource, etc:

storagepods = StoragePod.all(client)

Modification of the property collector will need to be done to retrieve the new results.

Error: Type not found: 'ns0:VirtualE1000e' while creating VM using virtual Ethernet adapter VirtualE1000e

Hi,

I could create VM using following virtual Ethernet adapter VirtualE1000, VirtualVmxnet, VirtualVmxnet2 and VirtualVmxnet3.
Only VirtualE1000e is failing.

Thanks,
