The above was not complete clear. The ovirtsdk4.writer.Writer and ovirtsdk4.reader.Reader classes are part of the contract of the SDK, it is safe to use them. The specific writer/reader classes, for example VmReader or VmWriter, are not part of the contract, and they may change in the future without notice, so try to avoid using them directly. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
