It provides Python bindings to the vSphere Web Services API, enabling tasks like virtual machine provisioning, resource management, and infrastructure monitoring through Python code.\n\nThe package is production-stable and actively maintained by Broadcom/VMware. It has no runtime dependencies, making installation straightforward. The SDK maintains backward compatibility with the previous four releases of both vSphere and pyvmomi itself. For REST-based vSphere Automation APIs, users are directed to a separate package.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is the official, actively maintained Python SDK for vSphere infrastructure automation. It has no external dependencies, supports Python 3.10 through 3.14, carries a permissive Apache license, and is positioned in the top 5000 PyPI packages by download volume. Install it if you need to automate or integrate with VMware vSphere environments."},"id":"pyvmomi","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyvmomi","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyvmomi.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyvmomi/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyvmomi","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"VMware vSphere Python SDK"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1897599,"position":3448,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"9.1.0.0"}
