描述

Hello, I am writing some prototypes where in my code gets called when a specific event happens. I looked at some sample code in https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi-community-samples/blob/master/samples/relocate_events.py. This seems to be querying for some specific events that has happened in the past.

What i am looking for is for my function to be called asynchronously when certain events of interest occurs in the future. Or the events can be put in the queue that my module defines.

'govmomi' seems to have something similar as in: err = eventManager.Events(ctx, refs, 10, false, false, handleEvent)

Is there a way to achieve this using pyvmomi?

Thanks, KP

研究方向
The issue asks for an asynchronous event listener for vSphere events using Pyvmomi, similar to govmomi's EventManager.Events function. The user references a sample (relocate events.py) that queries past events, but wants real time or queued notifications. Investigate if Pyvmomi currently supports asynchronous event handling or if a callback based mechanism can be implemented. Examine the Pyvmomi documentation and source code for event related classes, and consider whether a community sample or a patch to the Pyvmomi library is needed. The lack of linked PRs or assignees suggests this remains an open research question.
