Description

Describe the bug

When trying to import using PyCharm, using for example VirtualMachine, it imports pyVmomi.vim.VirtualMachine, but the correct import is vim.VirtualMachine. This causes errors during runtime.

Reproduction steps
  1. Try to import some type automatically
    image

  2. Run the code and get error: ImportError: cannot import name 'VirtualMachine' from 'pyVmomi.vim' (unknown location)

Expected behavior

Import would be correct: from vim import VirtualMachine
