Steps or code snippet to reproduce

Actual behavior

Traceback (most recent call last): File "ovf_import_export.py", line 27, in from com.vmware.content_client import LibraryModel File "~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/com/vmware/content_client.py", line 32, in import com.vmware.content.library_client File "~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/com/vmware/content/library_client.py", line 444, in 'authentication_method': type.OptionalType(type.ReferenceType(sys.modules[name], 'PublishInfo.AuthenticationMethod')), File "~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vmware/vapi/bindings/type.py", line 364, in init raise TypeError('Context name should be a string') TypeError: Context name should be a string

Expected behavior

the ovf tool program to start

Additional Information

I am installing the sdk offline by copying the zip file and extracting it on a server as the server doesnt have outside internet access

It is likely that you have not installed the SDK properly. Can you try the import statement from com.vmware.content_client import LibraryModel in a python shell?
