It is the same script, I just renamed it. Now what I did works but it isn't
the proper way to do it. I want to improve it before contributing it as I
write the ovf data back out to a file and use pythons sed like
functionality to modify the file and then read in the updated one to give
to the engine. I just wanted to get something to work to get my project
done.

Awesome, glad to hear that.
Looking again at what you wrote below, you've mentioned the script is
named upload_ova_as_template.py. We've made some changes to that script and
renamed it to upload_ova_as_vm_or_template.py [1]. It would be great if you
could contribute your changes to it
