This SDK is not on PyPI yet. Please refer to README for installation instructions.

PyPI project was published to reserve the project name. It is a dummy project for future publishing needs and to avoid supply chain attacks.

@aagrawal3 Do we have plan to make it available on pypi ? We have another project that will build as a pypi project and in the setup we want to include vsphere-automation-sdk-python

[aagrawal3]

Yes, it is in our pipeline. Unfortunately, I can not provide a timeline.
