Hi,

BTW, the ovirt-shell is something we deprecated. It is working on top of the v3 api, which we plan to remove in 4.2.
So better not use it.

Is there a plan to replace the shell with something similar? I see it frequently used by our users for both scripting and one-off tasks.

+1, yes deleting an old v3 API ok, but why not adapting ovirt-shell to the new v4 API? I use ovirt-shell every day, often to replace the slow webadmin and to run some useful scripts. I'm not enough familiar with python or java to write my own scripts, and I find ovirt-shell very useful, easy and fast. We've been used to have ready-to-go CLI in almost every opensource software as a simple way to manage, why not going on with ovirt 4 if people do need it? Is cloud approach something to do with that idea?
Rational reason would be much appreciated.

There is no technical limitation, AFAIK.

I've looked last night at ConfigShell[1] (and see example @ [2])], and it looks nice and simple (then again, all examples are simple at first).

I'd be happy to see someone developing a CLI on top of the Python SDK using it.

Perhaps we can write it down as a Google Summer Of Code project.
