'''
VMWARE external inventory script
=================================

shamelessly copied from existing inventory scripts.

This script and it's ini can be used more than once,

i.e vmware.py/vmware_colo.ini vmware_idf.py/vmware_idf.ini
(script can be link)

so if you don't have clustered vcenter  but multiple esx machines or
just diff clusters you can have a inventory  per each and automatically
group hosts based on file name or specify a group in the ini.
