VmsService.list doesn't return list of VmService objects, but list of types.Vm object. So what you will see in above add_vm_snapshot example is follwoing: # Obtain types.Vm object which is actually a Python representation of # XML, which oVirt API returns, when you send request like this: # ovirt-engine/api/vms?search=name=myvm vm = vms_service.list(search='name=myvm')[0] # Locate the service that manages the snapshots of the virtual machine, # which we have found in previous step: snapshots_service = vms_service.vm_service(vm.id).snapshots_service() # Add the new snapshot to that VM: snapshots_service.add( types.Snapshot( description='My snapshot', ), ) Everything works here as expected. Can you please tell us what is confusing and what should be better documented? The documentation of SnapshotsService class is here: https://machacekondra.github.io/ovirt-engine-sdk/v4.0/latest/services.m.h... We want to improve, so the pages will contain also Python examples and maybe some tutorial. https://machacekondra.github.io/ovirt-engine-sdk/
