psphere: how to make thread safe

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

psphere: Python interface for the VMware vSphere Web Services SDK

I already developed an app using https://bitbucket.org/jkinred/psphere. But getting lot of errors since psphere is not thread safe (I think). So i wrote couple of scripts to test it (See attached files) and found that caching mechanism used by psphere is not thread safe. Could someone please give me some suggestion to make it thread safe.


=======Test Code ========

import psphere
from psphere.client import Client
from psphere.managedobjects import HostSystem, VirtualMachine, ComputeResource
client = Client("192.168.0.114", "root", "vmware1") ##vCenter
print "\nSucessfully connected to vCenter.\n"

from threading import Thread

def myfunc(i):
	host1 = HostSystem.get(client, name="192.168.0.134")
	host2 = HostSystem.get(client, name="192.168.0.113")
	print "----i------",i
	while True:
		#host1.update(properties=["config", "vm"])
		#host2.update(properties=["config", "vm"])
		c = type(host1.config.network)
		v = type(host2.config.network)
		for vm in host1.vm:
			k = vm.config.template
		for vm in host2.vm:
			p = vm.config.template


for i in range(10):	
    t = Thread(target=myfunc, args=(i,))
    t.start()
