Hello,
Attached Python shell extension (just drop attached file into
~/.VirtualBox/shexts/ directory and perform 'reloadExt' command) which
demonstrates how to create and remove hard disks. Likely will get
integrated into future versions of shell (for shell extensions to work
at least 3.0.4 shell is required).
Thanks,
Nikolay.

Hello,
I try to create hard disk and to use createBaseStorage...
Do you have a small sample ?
The usual "sample" is VBoxManage. The total tool is relatively big,
but each subcommand is usually pretty straightforward.
