I was struck with this today when my playbooks stopped working over the US holiday.
I have reverted to 8.0.3.0.1.

Hello. Could you elaborate on your scenario? The vmodl folder contains only type hints so it's interesting to find another use case.

Apologies I should have lead with that.
I can try and induce the specific error again in the next few days.
I have several playbooks used to move and manipulate custom workloads in vmware 7 u3.
- Network connect/disconnect
- CPU & RAM configuration
- vMotion to and from specific compute hosts
All of this runs on Ansible Semaphore which uses Ansible version 2.18.1 (Current).
When attempting to run a playbook on 9.0.0.0 pyvmomi faults when attempting to use one of the modules.
Removing and rolling back to 8.0.3.0.1 restores usability immediately.
Got it. I don't think the issue is due to missing type hints. Since 9.0 is a major release, it introduced several breaking changes - rare, but you might’ve just hit one. When you get a chance, please share the error and traceback so we can confirm.
