Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm looking for a way to retrieve and edit custom attributes for a given VM. I can't find it now. Is it even possible?

Describe the solution you'd like

custom_attributes could be added to vsphere_client.vcenter.vm or vsphere_client.vcenter.vm.guest

Describe alternatives you've considered

You can't do this with the vsphere-automation-sdk-python. You need to use the vSphere Web Services API for example using pyvmomi

Or using the VI/JSON API by crafting the HTTP/REST request, but this is only available since 8.0 Update 1.
