I am playing arround with pyvmomi and I managed to get the "sample" script (getallvms.py) working.
I am now trying an other script that I found here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vmware/pyvmomi-community-samples/master/samples/vminfo_quick.py
When I run this script I get the following error:
Iwans-Mac:sample iwan-home-folder$ python vminfo_quick.py -s 10.11.11.215 -u pyvmomi-user@sso-iwan.local -p VMware1!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "vminfo_quick.py", line 19, in <module>
from tools import cli
ImportError: No module named tools
I am not sure how I install the module "tools". Can someone tell me how I should continue?
Thanks, Iwan
The script you are trying to run is meant to be run from the samples project directory. To have the most success you would want to clone the project:
git clone https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi-community-samples
cd pyvmomi-community-samples/samples
python vminfo_quick.py xxxx
Once you do that the import issues will go away. If you look in the samples directory you will find tools/cli which is what is trying to be imported.
