How difficult would be to port pyVmomi to OpenVMS? It's not in the list of supported os and install fails with a file version error.

pyVmomi is the Python SDK for the VMware vSphere API that allows you to manage
ESX, ESXi, and vCenter.

Can you post the installation error log ?

You can also try to manually install the two libraries pyVim and pyVmomi.
Just copy the two directories and try to use it.

First there is error trying to write to the LD device where python_root resides, but is not able to correctly translate to VMS path (folder python2^.7.DIR )

python setup.py install
running install
install_dir /python_root/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
running bdist_egg
running egg_info
creating pyvmomi.egg-info
error: could not create 'pyvmomi.egg-info': bad file version number

Then trying to install to a different location

python setup.py install --root sys$sysdevice:[python_pyvmomi]
running install
