Python SDK for Vmware get stuck in openSSL SSL_read

[prateek88]

Describe the bug

I am using Python SDK for VMware automation tasks e.g. power off, power on and delete VMs in vcenter server.

from com.vmware.vcenter.vm_client import Power
from samples.vsphere.vcenter.helper.vm_helper import get_vm
import requests
import urllib3
from vmware.vapi.vsphere.client import create_vsphere_client
import argparse

Inputs = fetch_inputs()
    vm_name = Inputs.VM_Name
    action = Inputs.action
    session = requests.session()

    # Disable cert verification for demo purpose.
    # This is not recommended in a production environment.
    session.verify = False

    # Disable the secure connection warning for demo purpose.
    # This is not recommended in a production environment.
    urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

    # Connect to a vCenter Server using username and password
    vsphere_client = create_vsphere_client(server=Inputs.server, username=Inputs.username, password=Inputs.password, session=session)

vsphere_client.vcenter.vm.Power.stop(vm) <<--- It gets stuck here.

However, it does the operation but after that it gets stuck there and never comes out. If I do CTRL+C, then I can see that it seemd to get stuck in SSL_read in OpenSSL library:

KeyboardInterrupt

We are using VMware ESXi, 6.7.0.

Reproduction steps

1. Call stop function from vcenter.vm.Power library,like the script in description: vsphere_client.vcenter.vm.Power.stop(vm)
2. See that VM is actually powered off, but script gets stuck
3. CTRL+C to come out of script.

Expected behavior

The VM should get powered off and the function should return and script should get completed.
