FYI, I have raised the issue of separating libvirt python into a separate module for PyPI on the upstream libvirt mailing list. OpenStack are not the only people asking for this, so I think it is inevitable that libvirt upstream will start to offer the python binding on PyPI in the future. eg it is a question of when, not if. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-August/msg01525.html Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :| _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
