Some Python modules to handle ESXi Host on a vCenter - using pyVmomi (VMware vSphere API Python)

handle-esxi-hosts

Some Python modules used to handle ESXi Hosts:

• Add a standalone ESXi Host to a Cluster with vSAN enabled or not
• Move an ESXi Host from a cluster to another
• Remove an ESXi Host from the vCenter inventory

Bonus: Print out the vCenter inventory

Those moduels use pyVmomi (VMware vSphere API Python)
