in the icehouse version,the Vim class has not "_get_wsdl_loc" method,
and if we do not set the "wsdl_url", when we instance class Vim, it will generate one for us:

class Vim(service.Service):
    """Service class that provides access to the VIM API."""

    def __init__(self, protocol='https', host='localhost', port=None,
                 wsdl_url=None, cacert=None, insecure=True):

        base_url = service.Service.build_base_url(protocol, host, port)
        soap_url = base_url + '/sdk'
        if wsdl_url is None:
            wsdl_url = soap_url + '/vimService.wsdl'
        super(Vim, self).__init__(wsdl_url, soap_url, cacert, insecure)

[Haifeng.Yan (yanheven)]

as I see it ,we can fix this bug by delete this two lines in "inspector.py",as commented below:

def get_api_session():

    hostIp = cfg.CONF.vmware.host_ip

    #wsdl_loc = vim.Vim._get_wsdl_loc("https", hostIp)
    api_session = api.VMwareAPISession(
        hostIp,
        cfg.CONF.vmware.host_username,
        cfg.CONF.vmware.host_password,
        cfg.CONF.vmware.api_retry_count,
        cfg.CONF.vmware.task_poll_interval,
        )#wsdl_loc=wsdl_loc)
    return api_session

in my env,after commented these two lines, the ceilometer-agent-compute can finally work .
