PowerPy 🐍⚡

A Python wrapper for VMware PowerCLI — because I like PowerCLI but dislike PowerShell.

---

Overview

PowerPy lets you run PowerCLI commands from Python without fighting PowerShell or multiple Python APIs.

• All PowerCLI cmdlets are available dynamically after initialization
• Python-friendly output objects
• Minimal built-in logging

---

Installation

Make sure PowerShell and PowerCLI are installed.

git clone https://github.com/tylersgit/PowerPy.git
cd PowerPy
pip install -r requirements.txt

---

Usage

fromPowerPy.CLIimportCLIcli=CLI()
cli.Connect_VIServer(server="vcenter.local", user="admin", password="secret")
vms=cli.Get_VM()
forvminvms:
print(vm.Name)
cli.Disconnect_VIServer()

Roadmap

• Send commands directly to console.
• Better REPL support
• Publish on PyPI
• Expanded handling for native PowerShell objects (SecureString, PSCredential, etc.)
• Remove the dependancy on Docker.
