+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.
