This example uses the steps that are described in the Create an Empty Library Item procedure.

from com.vmware.content import library_client
import uuid
 
# 1 - Create an instance of the ItemModel class and specify the item settings.
item_model = library_client.ItemModel()
item_model.name = ’ESXi ISO image’
item_model.description = ’ISO image with latest security patches for ESXi 5.5 as of 2/3/2015’
item_model.type = ’iso’
 
# 2 - Associate the new item with an existing library.
item_model.library_id = my_library_id
 
# 3 - Create the new instance of the Item class, using the specified model.
idem_token = str(uuid.uuid4())
item_stub = library_client.Item(my_stub_config)
item_id = item_stub.create(create_spec=item_model, client_token=idem_token)
