Example 4.2. Listing the Data Center Collection using Python

This Python example lists the data centers in the datacenters collection. It also outputs some basic information about each data center in the collection. 
​from ovirtsdk.api import API
​from ovirtsdk.xml import params
​
​try:
​    api = API (url="https://HOST",
​               username="USER",
​               password="PASS",
​               ca_file="ca.crt")
​
​    dc_list = api.datacenters.list()
​
​    for dc in dc_list:
​        print "%s (%s)" % (dc.get_name(), dc.get_id())
​
​    api.disconnect()
​
​except Exception as ex:
​    print "Unexpected error: %s" % ex
In an environment where only the Default data center exists, and it is not activated, the example outputs: 
Default (d8b74b20-c6e1-11e1-87a3-00163e77e2ed)
