Using pysphere 0.1.8. I can connect to ESXi 5.5 hosts just fine and invoke 
methods like get_hosts, get_datacenters, etc... without problem.

However, after successfully connecting to a vCenter 5.5 host, gets_hosts, 
get_datacenters, etc... raise an exception:

  File "/home/mpietrek/pyspheretest.py", line 15, in <module>
    hosts = server.get_hosts()

The vCenter server is working exactly like I'd expect. I can connect to it via 
the web client, interact with it, etc...

Here's the code:
----
from pysphere import VIServer
server = VIServer()
server.connect("myhost", "test-stack@system-domain", "foobar", 
hosts = server.get_hosts()
----

The test-stack account has administrator privileges.

The SOAP trace is as follows:
