  <h1>Welcome</h1>

  <p>
  psphere provides native Python bindings for the vSphere Web Services SDK
  (formerly known as VMware Infrastructure SDK).

  The project is in its early phases but can already perform most query
  operations and virtual machine creation.
  </p>

  <p>
  psphere is in no way affiliated with VMware Inc.
