The error was in the handling of the case where you pass None to the function. Previously that would pass a NULL type and non-NULL typeVer to the underlying C function, which the underlying C function would interpret as a request to get the version of the Xen driver.
Bad idea if libvirt is compiled --without-xen.The new version treats None as meaning that we just want to get the version of the main library.
The semantics of the new version are described in the Python documentation:
+ """Return a tuple containing the version of the library and
+ a version of the driver with the given name.
+
+ If the name passed is None then only the first element of the
+ tuple (library version) is meaningful. The second element will
+ be zero.
+
+ If the name passed refers to a non-existent driver, then you
+ will get the exception 'no support for hypervisor'.
+
+ Versions are 1000000*major + 1000*minor + release."""
and shown in the example below:
$ python
