^ yes, this is effectively what you need. There is no direct vm console
connection via hypervisors because we use a time-limited access ticket.
Using that py example above, you should be able to create a shell script
wrapper that gets you the ticket and launches remote-viewer.

If you don't want to use the the ticket system, you could install VNC on
your VMs individually and just vnc connect to <vm>:5900, outside the scope
of oVirt pretty much. This is how we treat RDP for Windows.

Best wishes,
Greg
