Any decision made?
Are we going to switch to use 3.6 SDK?
In my opinion you should use version 3.6, as version 4 isn't ready for
use in real environments. Note that latest version 4 of the engine has
already support for version 3 and 4 of the API, and that the latest
version of the Python SDK (3.6.3.0) automatically selects version 3 of
the API. So, if you use that version of the 3.6 SDK then you don't need
to change anything. You can also use an older version of the SDK, but
then you will need to do one of these two things:
* Tell the SDK to use version 3 of the API, using the "/v3" prefix:
api = API(
url="https://yourserver/ovirt-engine/api/v3",
...
)
* Configure the server to select version 3 of the API by default
(currently the default is version 4):
$ echo "ENGINE_API_VERSION_DEFAULT=4" >
/etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d/99-use-version-3-api-by-default.conf
$ systemctl restart ovirt-engine
Note also that version 4 of the SDK will work only with version 4 of the
API, and it will be very different. In this patch, in the "examples"
directory, you can take a look at how the new SDK will look like:
sdk: Add version 4

Latest 3.6 that is available. Should be 3.6.0.3 if you have the
oVirt.org repositories correctly configured.

The master version of the SDK only works with version 4 of the API, and
thus only with master version of the engine. I do not recommend to use
the master version of the SDKs at the moment, as we should do big
changes to them, which will render the migration effort useless.
The master version of the engine already supports versions 3 and 4 of
the API. You can use version 3.6 of the SDK to talk to version 4 of the
engine if you explicitly request version 3 of the API. To do so,
currently, you will have to use a prefix in the URL:
api = api.API(
url="https://whatever/ovirt-engine/api/v3",
...
)
Note that using this prefix isn't the recommended way to select the
version of the API, the recommended way is using the HTTP "Version"
header, but there are no released versions of the SDK supporting this
yet. This support will be included in the next released version.

It isn't possible to have both SDKs installed in the same machine,
because the name of the RPM is the same. Suggestions to allow that are
welcome. I'm inclined to ship two SDKs in the same RPM, one to talk to
version 3 of the API and another to talk to version 4 of the API.
