Also pyvmomi (python), rbvmomi (ruby), vijava (might be what you were looking at), and the perl kit (also probably what you were looking at).

I did a project in pyvmomi and I was very impressed with its flexibility.

Lovely, thanks for pointing that out. I'm a python person myself, so I'll definitely take a look at that. My sysadmins are still deploying servers the old fashioned way - I'd like to make their lives easier. We've automated (puppet) the configuration, but not the deployment.
