Python Example of Listing Available Products and Managing Associated Products

This example shows how you can retrieve the product catalog, list the associated products, add, update, and delete products associations. The example is based on the discovery_sample.py sample.

Note: For a complete and up-to-date version of the sample code, see the vsphere-automation-sdk-python VMware repository at GitHub.
