You might find vix useful (can be found @ https://github.com/naim94a/vix or with pip install vix). This library wraps the VIX API in a safe way (RAII) and is object oriented.

import vix

host = vix.VixHost()
host.connect()

vm = host.open_vm("C:\\Virtual Machines\\MyVM.vmx")
vm.login(username="GuestUserName", password="GuestPassword")

vm.proc_run("C:\\GuestExecutable.exe")

Of course, if you would like to wrap the calls yourself the official documentation can be found here: https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/vix115_reference/index2.html
