I’ve been looking into ways to support tagging in vmware from Ansible. It appears that pyVmomi is never going to be able to support this functionality directly [https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi/issues/307](https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi/issues/307). This functionality is only available via the new “VMware vSphere Automation SDK’s” [https://code.vmware.com/sdks](https://code.vmware.com/sdks) which includes a Python SDK. However, it looks like it might make more sense, and be a lot easier possibly, to simpl`y use ansible.module_utils.urls and go against the REST API [https://code.vmware.com/web/sdk/65/vsphere-automation-rest](https://code.vmware.com/web/sdk/65/vsphere-automation-rest). Has anyone else given this some thought?`
