Tags support in 6.5, 6.7.1?

[jeking3]

Folks on ansible report that tags don't work with pyVmomi 6.5 so they have added code to call out to the vCloud Suite SDK if it is installed in order to get tags. However when I use pyVmomi 6.7.1 and encode a VirtualMachine to JSON, I see tags. Was tag support added since 6.5 here?

Was there ever tag support in pyvmomi ?

There were some changes in v6.7.1 for tagging:
aace16b#diff-8fbd2be360383e3b0e54628cfce44c5dL240

Perhaps this fixed tagging, as now I see tags in the results through pyVmomi:

    "tag": [
        {
            "dynamicProperty": [], 
            "dynamicType": null, 
            "key": "SYSTEM/COM.VMWARE.VIM.VC"
        }
    ],

What is the oldest VMWare version that version of pyvmomi will work on ? I think the versions I am on are too old, but a newer one is coming.

Viewing tags is something that pyVmomi can do, but it is not able to add / edit tags as far as I was aware.

tagging APIs are REST APIs released as part of https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python from 6.0
