spice-gtk is a GTK+3 SPICE widget. It features glib-based objects for SPICE protocol parsing and a gtk widget for embedding the SPICE display into other applications such as virt-manager or Boxes. Python and Vala bindings are available too.
The recommended client application is virt-viewer.
This section contains various optional drivers and daemons that can be installed on the guest to provide enhanced SPICE integration and performance.
