[ovirt-users] Python-SDK4: Managing accents?

[nicolas at devels.es]

Currently all our scripts are python2-based, not sure if running them 
with Python3 would need a major change, but currently we're happy with 
Python2. I'm still not clear if this is a bug or an additional option 
should be supplied in order to make this work.

Thanks.
