Examples

Various usage examples exist for the SDK (credit goes to the relevant contributers):

Ravshello is an almost complete shell to manage Ravello using the Python SDK - https://github.com/ryran/ravshello
A cool example for implementing a highly available load balancer on top of Ravello using the Python SDK - https://gist.github.com/robertoandrade/29e60d41aee6342c16c7
A simple script for adding VMs to a published application - https://github.com/ravello/vmware-automation

The following shows a small example of how to use the SDK: When the organization of the user has an identity domain, the user must include it in the username: identity_domain/username . Otherwise use only the username.

from ravello_sdk import *
client = RavelloClient()
client.login('identity_domain/username', 'Passw0rd')
for app in client.get_applications():
    print('Found Application: {0}'.format(app['name']))
