List your installed virtualbox virtual marchines using vbox python xpcom api

I’m sorry for the long title. Due to lack of documentation, it’s not easy to use python xpcom api from virtualbox sdk. The code below is just a sample that lists your installed virtual machines. It works on linux with VirtualBox OSE 2.0.8. Hope useful to you.

import vboxapi
vmsg = vboxapi.VirtualBoxManager(None, None)
vbox = vmsg.vbox
vmsg.mgr.getSessionObject(vbox)
machs = vbox.getMachines()
names = map(lambda x: (x.name,x.id), machs)
print names

Output:

[(u'Ubuntu', u'aac3fd46-4f1e-4f6e-8abe-b1a5516abf8c'), (u'Windows', u'fa73952e-f0a6-4bf0-af20-259513d73bc1'), (u'OpenSolaris', u'a951542c-3178-4a6b-8087-f1b0314e283a'), (u'LinuxMint', u'8191f256-1b76-4ce7-a202-93730dae1b33'), (u'Fedora', u'ca250f45-d752-4baf-9281-fb0847dc8287'), (u'Freebsd', u'8322b62a-aed5-4f04-9815-9fadfeba9fe1'), (u'ArchLinux', u'efc1167a-4e06-4c14-aeb0-bfb303c8f5f7'), (u'openSUSE', u'02e18816-311d-420b-99b3-6b4b4cccf7b7'), (u'CentOS', u'ccf0421c-85c4-4123-8722-57abc494c633')]
