Create and delete VPCs and vSwitches

This topic describes how to use Alibaba Cloud SDK for Python to create and delete virtual private clouds (VPCs) and vSwitches.

1. Open the aliyun-openapi-python-sdk-examples\sdk_examples\examples\vpc folder in the downloaded SDK directory.
2. Open the vpc_quick_start.py file in your text editor. Set the required parameters, save the configurations, and then exit the editor.
   The following sample code is provided:

3. Go to the directory where the vpc_quick_start.py file is stored and run the following command to create and delete a VPC and a vSwitch:

   python vpc_quick_start.py
