This Python module provides a convenient way to control and interact with VMware Fusion virtual machines using the vmrun command-line utility. Built and tested for VMware Fusion on arm64 MacOS

• Full coverage of the vmrun CLI
  • Start, stop, reset, suspend, pause, and unpause virtual machines
  • Manage snapshots (create, delete, list, and revert)
  • Manage network adapters (list, add, set, and delete)
  • Manage port forwarding for host networks
  • Run programs and scripts in the guest operating system
  • Manage files and directories in the guest operating system
  • Manage shared folders between the host and guest
  • Interact with the guest operating system (type keystrokes, capture screenshots, etc.)
  • Clone virtual machines
  • Upgrade virtual machines and install VMware Tools

• Python 3.x
• VMware Fusion on MacOS
• vmrun command-line utility (included with VMware Fusion)
