It wraps VMware's SOAP-based APIs and provides utility functions for typical hypervisor tasks. The library is part of the Oslo project, OpenStack's collection of shared libraries, and is designed for operators and developers integrating OpenStack with VMware environments.\n\nThe package depends on a suite of Oslo utilities (oslo.i18n, oslo.utils, oslo.concurrency, oslo.context, oslo.service) for cross-cutting concerns like internationalization, concurrency control, and service lifecycle management. It also relies on lxml for XML processing and requests for HTTP communication, reflecting the XML-heavy nature of VMware's SOAP APIs.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building or deploying OpenStack services that integrate with VMware infrastructure. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and has no known vulnerabilities. It is purpose-built for this integration and is the standard choice within the OpenStack ecosystem. Not relevant for non-OpenStack or non-VMware use cases."},"id":"oslo-vmware","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/oslo-vmware","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/oslo-vmware.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/oslo-vmware/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"oslo.vmware","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Oslo VMware library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":93503,"position":13379,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.10.0"}
