        **Among other operations, PySphere provides easy interfaces to:**
        
        - Connect to VMWare's ESX, ESXi, Virtual Center, Virtual Server hosts 
        - Query hosts, datacenters, resource pools, virtual machines
        - VMs: Power on, power off, reset, revert to snapshot, get properties, update 
          vmware tools, clone, migrate.
        - vSphere 5.0 Guest Operations: create/delete/move files and directories.
          upload/download files from the guest system. List/start/stop processes in 
          the guest system.
        - Create and delete snapshots
        - Get hosts statistics and monitor performance
        
        An of course, you can use it to access all the vSphere API through python.
        
        It's built upon a slightly modified version of ZSI_ (that comes bundled-in) 
        which makes it really fast in contrast to other python SOAP libraries that don't
        provide code generation.
        
        .. _ZSI: http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/zsi.html
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        The simplest way is using setuptools_' easy_install:
        
        .. _setuptools: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
        
        ::
        
          easy_install -U pysphere
        
        Or using the pip_:
        
        .. _pip: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip
        
        ::
        
          pip install -U pysphere
        
        You can aslo find the source package and windows installer in the downloads_ 
        section. To install it from the source package:
        
        .. _downloads: http://code.google.com/p/pysphere/downloads/list
        
        1. Unzip the package
        2. run: ``python setup.py install``
        
        Quick Example
        -------------
        
        Here's how you power on a virtual machine. See also the `getting started`_ guide
        and the project's wiki_ with the full documentation.
        
        .. _getting started: http://code.google.com/p/pysphere/wiki/GettingStarted
        .. _wiki: http://code.google.com/p/pysphere/w/list
        
        >>> from pysphere import VIServer
        >>> server = VIServer()
        >>> server.connect("my.esx.host.com", "myusername", "secret")
        >>> vm = server.get_vm_by_path("[datastore] path/to/file.vmx")
        >>> vm.power_on()
        >>> print vm.get_status()
        POWERED ON
