Using psphere for vsphere 6.0

[Cam Sparr]

Hello all,

For a beta project, I'm trying to use psphere to make some new API calls that are available in vsphere and ESX 6.

It appears that psphere is not dynamically loading the WSDL when it connects to a new vsphere server. I know this because our vsphere 6 server has some new APIs available in the WSDL and UI, but when I connect via psphere, I do not see those new APIs.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on how I might get psphere to dynamically load the WSDL, so that I can utilize beta APIs.

thanks a bunch!

Found the wsdl_location arg, duh, but this fails for something I don't understand, anyone have some pointers for a patch so that it can vCenter 6 ?

You signed an NDA to get access to that beta software. You should read the terms of it. No one can legally help you.

Okay then, how about I phrase my question more generally....

Anyone have pointers on the following traceback? I would like to know where I might find information on adding the ServiceManager class to the managedobjects.py file in psphere.

ServiceManager is a type that was added in vsphere 5.1, BTW
