Hello,
thanks for reporting about this project I didn't know about.

By the way on a Fedora 24 client I was able to successfully test it without
the need to create a python virtual environment

This is with python 2 present in F24 (not tested with the alternative
python 3 Python 3.5.1):
$ python -V
Python 2.7.12

and the currently provided packages:

sip-4.18-2.fc24.x86_64
python-qt5-5.6-4.fc24.x86_6

I was able to then run

python ovirtclient.py

I was not able to using anyway virtualenv (both 2 and 3 versions) that
seems anyway sort of broken
Without --always-copy switch the sip compilation tried to remove the
provided sip.so and clearly it failed
With --always-copy I got errors able to temporarily fix changing fix_lib64
function but then error again about importing _io....
