I didn't find a way to find the writer that correspond to a given

Yes that is missing. We have it for reading, but not for writing. This
patch should address that:
Add generic writer
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/75699
Please open a bug so that we can decide what version should contain this
fix.
Note that you should try to avoid using directly the writer/reader
classes, as they are an internal implementation detail and may change in
the future. The contract for reading/writing is using the Reader and
Writer classes. For example, to generate the XML for an object (once the
patch is merged):
from ovirtsdk4 import types
from ovirtsdk4 import writer
from ovirtsdk4 import writers
vm = types.Vm(
id="123",
name="myvm",
...
)
xml = writer.Writer.write(vm)
print(xml)
