Description

The library does not seem to include support for the HostPatchManager. I am trying to use it to script vSphere Update Manager managing updates for hosts in my cluster.

Research direction

Start with the linked HostPatchManager API documentation and inspect the repository's existing vSphere managed-object bindings for the closest pattern. Done means the HostPatchManager interface is available through pyvmomi for scripting vSphere Update Manager host updates, with relevant tests if the project provides them.
