Pip packages are hosted on GitHub. They can be installed simply as:

$ pip install https://github.com/avinetworks/sdk/releases/download/latest/avisdk-master.tar.gz

from avi.sdk.avi_api import ApiSession
# create Avi API Session
api = ApiSession.get_session("10.10.10.42", "admin", "something", tenant="admin")

# create virtualservice using pool sample_pool
pool_obj = api.get_object_by_name('pool', 'sample_pool')
pool_ref = api.get_obj_ref(pool_obj)
services_obj = [{'port': 80, 'enable_ssl': False}]
vs_obj = {'name': 'sample_vs', 'ip_address': {'addr': '11.11.11.42', 'type': 'V4'},
         'services': services_obj', 'pool_ref': pool_ref}
resp = api.post('virtualservice', data=vs_obj)

# print list of all virtualservices 
resp = api.get('virtualservice')
for vs in resp.json()['results']:
    print vs['name']

# delete virtualservice
resp = api.delete('virtualservice', 'sample_vs')

See all the F5 converter options
