You're right, and I haven't noticed : import ovirtsdk4 is working.

Yes, this list of examples is a treasure, and I'm grateful to the 
maintainers.

Alas, though we already have one DC in V4, most of our production DCs 
are still in V3 for one year, and I have to maintain them.
So far, I have no clue how to add ovirtsdk v3 to my Ubuntu.

Another point : is the compatibility between ovirtsdk and oVirt 
completely obvious (ie 3 -> 3 and 4 -> 4), or is there any kind of 
backward compatibility?
