library9.1.0.0pypypiunverified

Python bindings for VMware vAPI Common Services, providing client libraries to interact with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) APIs. Current version 2.61.2 (older stable). The VCF SDK Python releases (up to 9.0.0.0) have replaced this package with the vcf-sdk-python namespace.

StubConfiguration

✓ from com.vmware.vapi.bindings.stub import StubConfiguration

✗ from com.vmware.vapi.bindings.stub import StubConfiguration

Basic setup of StubConfiguration with optional user security context.

from vmware.vapi.bindings.stub import StubConfiguration from vmware.vapi.core import VapiClient from vmware.vapi.security.client_security import create_user_security_context # Example of creating a StubConfiguration stub_config = StubConfiguration() # For authentication, use environment variables username = os.environ.get('VCF_USERNAME', '') password = os.environ.get('VCF_PASSWORD', '') if username and password: security_ctx = create_user_security_context(username, password) stub_config.security_context = security_ctx print("vAPI client configuration ready")

Known issues

deprecatedThis library is superseded by vcf-sdk-python (namespace vcf). New projects should use 'pip install vcf-sdk-python' and import from vcf.*

fix

Use 'pip install vcf-sdk-python' and update imports: from vcf.platform import Vcenter etc.

affects: >=2.0.0

breakingVersion 2.61.2 is the last PyPI release from the old vapi-common-client series. The new VCF SDK (9.0.0.0) changed module structure: StubConfiguration is now in vcf.bindings.stub.

fix

For VCF SDK 9+, install vcf-sdk-python and use: from vcf.bindings.stub import StubConfiguration.

affects: 9.0.0.0+

gotchaAuthentication via environment variables (VCF_USERNAME, VCF_PASSWORD) is required for most API calls. If not set, security_context is None and calls may fail with authentication errors.

fix

Always set VCF_USERNAME and VCF_PASSWORD before creating the client.

affects: all
