Description

https://docs.python.org/2/library/warnings.html

pyVmomi is a deep level library and it should avoid making use of logging or printing features directly which are application elements we should leave 100% in control of the end application developer.

To close this issue:

  • remove all use of 'print'
  • introduce use of warnings to replace 'print'
  • introduce verbose logging of SOAP messages

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find all 'print' statements in the codebase and replace them with warnings.warn for deprecation like messages and introduce logging for SOAP message verbosity. Ensure no printing is used directly.
