+# VMworld 2017 Python SDK Hackathon
+
+## Install Python
+Go to: https://www.python.org/downloads/ and download and install Python for your Platform.
+The SDK supports both python2 and python3, but we recommend to install the latest version of python3. 
+
+## Setup Python SDK
+
+Create and activate a virtual env:
+
+#### Python2: 
+
+    virtualenv <env_dir>
+
+#### Python3:
+
+| Windows | OSX |
+|---------|-----|
+|```py -m venv <env_dir>```|```python3 -m venv <env_dir>```|
+|```<env_dir>\Scripts\activate```|```source <env_dir>/bin/activate```|
+
+##  Clone the github repo
+The python github repo is located [here](https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python)
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python
+```
+Or optionally [download](https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python/archive/master.zip) the SDK from Github as a .zip file.
+
+##  Install dependencies
+
+```bash
+cd vsphere-automation-sdk-python
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Set PYTHONPATH to use SDK helper methods  
+
+#### Linux/Mac:
+
+    export PYTHONPATH=${PWD}:$PYTHONPATH
+
+#### Windows:
+
+    set PYTHONPATH=%cd%;%PYTHONPATH%
+
+## OPTIONAL: Install Visual Studio Code IDE
+Microsoft's Visual Studio Code is a great (free) IDE that can be used for Python via a plugin providing a rich development environment.
+
+[Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/)<br />
+[Python Plugin](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=donjayamanne.python)
+
+## vSphere Python SDK Examples
+Start the Python command interpreter:
+
+#### Linux/Mac:
+
+    python3
+
+#### Windows:
+
+    py
+
+## List VC inventory in interactive mode
+
+### Connect to the vSphere REST API endpoint
+
+```python
+from samples.vsphere.common import vapiconnect
+stub_config = vapiconnect.connect("<VC_IP_Address>", "administrator@vsphere.local", "VMware1!", True)
+```
+
+### List VMs
+
+```python
+from com.vmware.vcenter_client import VM
+vm_svc = VM(stub_config)
+vm_svc.list()
+```
+
+### List Datacenters
+
+```python
+from com.vmware.vcenter_client import *
+Datacenter(stub_config).list()
+```
+
+### List Clusters
+
+```python
+Cluster(stub_config).list()
+```
+
+### List Hosts
+
+```python
+Host(stub_config).list()
+```
+
+### List Folders
+
+```python
+Folder(stub_config).list()
+```
+
+### List Datastore
+
+```python
+Datastore(stub_config).list()
+```
+
+### Find a specific host using a filter spec
+
+```python
+filter_spec = Host.FilterSpec(names=set(["<HOST_IP_Address>"]))
+Host(stub_config).list(filter_spec)
+```
+
+Note: To exit interactive Python simply type quit() and press Return:
+
+```python
+quit()
+```
+
+## Run samples on github
+For this portion of the lab we recommend using your favorite code editor or as mentioned above download and install [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/). We will be using Visual Studio code to demo these examples.
+
+Open the sample property file testbed.py using your favourite text editor, such as:
+
+#### Linux/OSX:
+
+```bash
+vi samples/vsphere/vcenter/setup/testbed.py
+```
+
+#### Windows:
+
+```shell
+notepad samples\vsphere\vcenter\setup\testbed.py
+```
+
+And then change the following two settings:
+
+```python
+config["SERVER"] = "<VC_IP_Address>"
+config["VM_DATASTORE_NAME"] = "vsanDatastore"
+```
+
+### Run create basic VM sample
+
+**NOTE:** Be sure to name the VM using your First and Last name so it's unique!!
+
+```bash
+python samples/vsphere/vcenter/vm/create/create_basic_vm.py -v -n "vm_<firstname_lastname>"
+```
+
+### Verify the new VM is created successfully
+
+```bash
+python samples/vsphere/vcenter/vm/list_vms.py -v
+```
+
+### Run deploy ovf template sample
+
+**NOTE:** Use single quote for password in Mac 'VMware1!'
+
+```bash
+python samples/vsphere/contentlibrary/ovfdeploy/deploy_ovf_template.py -v -clustername "Cluster1" -libitemname "Sample_OVF"
+```
+
+### Verify the new VM is deployed successfully
+
+```bash
+python samples/vsphere/vcenter/vm/list_vms.py -v
+```
+
+## Exercises
+Try to use the sample_template to create three scripts and then run them:
+
+* Power on/off the VM you created
+* Edit VM cpu/memory
+* Add a CD-ROM to your VM
