[Users] API Query on --> api.vms.list

[Anil Vettathu]

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 at internal'
PASSWORD='ovirt'


api=API(url=URL, username=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD)

vmnames = api.vms.list(query = 'name=a')
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?
My reference is

Thanks,
Anil
