Hello Amy.
We had the same needs back in July as we have some classrooms with thin
clients and although we don't just offer the oVirt service we wanted
something simple so users don't need to open a browser and just handle
their machines in a simple way, so I found this project [1] that works
quite fine for what we need. Manage virtual machine's power and start a
viewer. Period. No more funcionalities (not sure if you need something more
sophisticated...).
The project has been stopped for a time but it seems that the maintainer
is implementing new capabilities and fixing some things lately.
As a side note, you didn't mention if your thin clients are linux or
windows based but I believe this is for linux only.
HTH,

Hello,
thanks for reporting about this project I didn't know about.
By the way on a Fedora 24 client I was able to successfully test it without
the need to create a python virtual environment
This is with python 2 present in F24 (not tested with the alternative
python 3 Python 3.5.1):
$ python -V
Python 2.7.12
and the currently provided packages:
sip-4.18-2.fc24.x86_64
python-qt5-5.6-4.fc24.x86_6
I was able to then run
python ovirtclient.py
I was not able to using anyway virtualenv (both 2 and 3 versions) that
seems anyway sort of broken
Without --always-copy switch the sip compilation tried to remove the
provided sip.so and clearly it failed
With --always-copy I got errors able to temporarily fix changing fix_lib64
function but then error again about importing _io....
