Code samples to demonstrate use of the new Nutanix v4 APIs via Python SDK.

• Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9 are officially supported
• Nutanix Prism Central 2024.1 or later
• Nutanix AOS 6.8 or later

• Create and activate a Python virtual environment:

  python -m venv venv
  . venv/bin/activate
  

• Install required packages:

  pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Run script e.g. list Prism Central images:

  python list_images_sdk.py <prism_central_ip> <username>
  

  Note: User will be prompted for password

This repository provides two additional files. Using them is optional.

• startup.example.json: Should be renamed to startup.json and edited to contain details appropriate for your environment.
• startup.py: A script that can be used to initialise the Python REPL during testing. This script will import various Nutanix Python SDKS, instantiate the SDKs and create objects useful during testing. Note: This script is for testing only and contains very limited error checking and validation.

To use these optional files, continue below:

• Create and activate Python virtual environment as per the steps above

• Rename startup.json.example to startup.json

• Edit startup.json to contain values appropriate for your environment

• Initialise the Python REPL using startup.py:

  python -i startup.py
  

• If the script returns no errors, initialisation was successful.
