Automated build for a docker container to run pynsxt commands.

This is a Python library that can be used as a CLI to run commands against a VMWare NSX-T installation. It exposes operations for working with logical switches, logical routers, and pools. It uses version 2.1 of NSX-T for the swagger client.
To use the library, you will need to have setuptools installed via pip to compile the swagger client.
pip install --upgrade setuptools
python pynsxt/setup.py install --user
For variables that get re-used on multiple calls, this library utilizes an .ini file to prevent the need to add these parameters to every CLI command.
