- to clone vm from template in python sdk do:

vm_params_holder = params.VM(disks=params.Disks(clone=True), ...)
api.vms.add(vm_params_holder)

- to create vm with pre-allocated disk/s, you can modify disk/s config
during creation of vm by:

template = api.templates.get(name="xxx")
template_disks = template.disks.list()

for disk in template_disks:
    #modify disk config here

vm_params_holder = params.VM(disks=params.Disks(disk=template_disks))
api.vms.add(vm_params_holder)
