Debug

Known issues

breakingThe package was renamed from 'vmware_vcenter' to 'vmware-vcenter' for PyPI, but import path uses dots: 'vmware.vcenter'.

fix

Use 'pip install vmware-vcenter' and import 'from vmware.vcenter import ...'

affects: >=9.0.0

gotchaAuthentication details are sensitive. Do not hardcode credentials in code; use environment variables or a secrets vault.

fix

Use os.environ.get('VCENTER_USERNAME'), os.environ.get('VCENTER_PASSWORD')

affects: all

deprecatedThe old synchronous client pattern is deprecated; prefer async or session-based approach.

fix

Migrate to VcenterClient with session token management.

affects: <9.0.0
