[ovirt-users] Python-SDK4: Knowing snapshot status?

[Ala Hino]

Hi,

After issuing the remove operation, you can fetch the VM snapshots and
check the status of the snapshot.
Here is an example how to fetch VM snapshots:

https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/list_vm_
snapshots.py

You'd want to wait until the status is OK.
