Hi
I am writing a small python script to get the name of all the VMs that
matches a string.
==========
import sys
import getopt
import optparse
import os
import time
from ovirtsdk.api import API
from ovirtsdk.xml import params
URL='https://192.168.1.1:8443/api' #RHEVM API ACCESS URL
USERNAME='admin@internal'
PASSWORD='ovirt'
api=API(url=URL, username=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD)
vmnames = api.vms.list(query = 'name=a')
in this example you have used equals, i.e ovirt engine was guided to find
vm with name 'a', to find vms where name starting with 'a', use
"name=a*" query,
to find all vms contains "a" in their names, use "name=*a*" query, for
more examples
please see SearchText section of [1].

print vmnames
==========
Print output is,
<ovirtsdk.infrastructure.brokers.VM object at 0x1d4e790>
I was expecting a list of VMs which contains "a" in their names.
Am I doing it correct? Can someone guide me with a small example?
