'suds.TypeNotFound' error when removing device.

[Poulp Atine]

Hi,

by the following code, I'm trying to remove devices from VirtualMachines. The fact is I'm facing this error when I'm launching ReconfigVM_Task.

Here is my code a bit anonymzed :

import logging
logging.basicConfig()

# Import des modules psphere
from psphere.client import Client
from psphere.managedobjects import VirtualMachine
from psphere.soap import VimFault
from psphere.errors import ObjectNotFoundError
import types
import time

client = Client("hostname","user","password")
vm = VirtualMachine.get(client,name="testVMX")

vmSpec = client.create("VirtualMachineConfigSpec")
for device in vm.config.hardware.device:
    if device.__class__.__name__ == "VirtualE1000":
        nicToRemove = client.create("VirtualDeviceConfigSpec")
        nicToRemove.device = device
        nicToRemove.operation = "remove"
        vmSpec.deviceChange.append(nicToRemove)
       
   
try:
    task = vm.ReconfigVM_Task(spec=vmSpec)
except VimFault, e:
    print("Failed to reconfigure %s: " % e)
    sys.exit()

while task.info.state in ["queued", "running"]:
    print("Waiting 5 more seconds for VM creation")
    time.sleep(5)
    task.update()

client.logout()



And here is the error message :

Do you have an idea about this problem ?

Thanks.
