Re: [ovirt-users] Creating templates in a blocking fashion from Python SDK

Hi there, I use the following Python SDK snippet to create a template from an existing VM:

templ = ovirt.templates.add( ovirtsdk.xml.Template(vm=vm, name=vm.name) )

This seems to launch a template creation task in a non-blocking manner, which makes the next command I run, which tries to delete the VM, fail because the VM is still locked by the template creation task.

Is there a way to block on the template creation task and not return to the code until it finishes?

I don't think so, but you can loop waiting, see e.g.: http://www.ovirt.org/develop/api/pythonapi/#create-a-template-from-vm -- Didi
