Samples are broken, sometimes deprecated or outright won't work OOB. No official documentation for the wrapper aside for general REST api definitions.

Description
For example, in generate_html5_console.py
print 'Could not connect to vCenter host'
print repr(e)
I assume this is written to work on python 2.7, but since it's been deprecated why weren't the samples updated (date for the samples is 2019)?
While we're at it, why isn't there an oficial reference like there is for PowerCLI ?
Is this being actively developed?

Research direction
Start by reviewing samples/generate_html5_console.py and the surrounding sample documentation, focusing on the Python 2 syntax shown in the issue. Compare the sample's stated or implied support with the current project documentation and REST API references. Done would require an agreed scope for updating broken samples and documenting the Python wrapper, but this issue does not define that scope.
