[libvirt] [PATCH] Make python objects inherit from 'object' base class
From: Daniel P. Berrange berra...@redhat.com As of python = 2.2, it is recommended that all objects inherit from the 'object' base class. We already require python = 2.3 for libvirt for thread macro support, so we should follow this best practice.
