Ansible with vmware, PyVmomi needs to be installed on ESX?

[arpan...@gmail.com]

Is it mandatory to install PyVmomi on Esx to talk with ansible.

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/vmware_vmkernel_module.html#id2.

Not able to install get-pip or PyVmomi  from EsxCLi.

/usr # python get-pip.py

Not on the ESX, in the documentation is says "Requirements (on host that
executes module)"

By that it means the control machine aka. the machine runnning
ansible/ansible-playbook command.
