There is documentation online (and within the project). See http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/ There are tens of examples in the RPM (and online).

Yes, it's not smooth, but once you 'get' the idea behind the v4 API philosophy, it's quite easy to write to (at least in Python). Note that right now you can mix between v3 and v4, so you can migrate slowly, function by function. Another option that you can consider, if you are re-writing, is automation via Ansible.

The reason is that it's above the SDK, not part of the SDK. But that doesn't matter - we really ought to have a module/library on top of the SDK, that can be shared. For example, between ovirt-system-tests, Ansible, oVirtBackup[1] and several others who write on top of our SDK. We just never got to generalise it enough and split it. You are welcome to begin this work - I believe it has value. (It's also a good Google Summer of Code project - I'll see if I can update that page on ovirt.org). Y.

It exactly suffers from what I describe above - due to lack of a library on top of the SDK I'm quite wastefully re-writing what others (for example, the Ansible module) have probably done already. But other than that, and the fact I stopped the effort, it's a very cool CLI, I encourage you to check it out and perhaps pick it and do a better job than me. Y.

Patches are welcome. However, I tend to agree with closing the bug - I'd create a library (module) *on top of the SDK* . The comment in the bug is quite clear about it: "The objective of the SDK is to offer the same that the API offers, without the burden of the details of the HTTP and XML handling. Nothing less, and nothing more." So improving the SDK where we do not feel it should be improved, may not be the best path. Y.
