Shawn Hartsock 15f7be9a52 pyVmomi reStructured Text Documentation
This external documentation for pyVmomi was generated using Googly Docs
(aka Google Standard Documentation) which renders very cleanly in
GitHub. Internal documentation for a class should be done in Sphinx
format because tools like pyCharm and Eclipse can use that documentation
as a hint for code completion.

Note: External docs as Googly Docs, internal docs as Sphinx.

Closes bug#15

vim.Network
===========
Represents a network accessible by either hosts or virtual machines. This can be a physical network or a logical network, such as a VLAN.Networks are created:
* explicitly when configuring a host.
* automatically when adding a host to VirtualCenter.
* automatically when adding a new virtual machine to a host or to VirtualCenter.
*
* To configure network access for hosts and virtual machines, use
* `DistributedVirtualSwitch`_
* and
* `DistributedVirtualPortgroup`_
* managed objects.
