Hi,
I got two problems of using VirtualBox SDK in Python.
*Environment*: Centos8.5, Ubuntu22.04
*Platform*: x86-64
*VirtualBox version*: 7.1
*Installation*: sudo apt-get install virtualbox (dnf install for Centos)
There are several environment variables set.
- VBOX_SDK_PATH: /usr/lib/virtualbox
- VBOX_INSTALL_PATH: /usr/lib/virtualbox
1. When installing Python binding with ```python3 vboxapisetup.py
install```, there is an error:
m=VBoxPython3_10 x=dynamic module does not define module export function
(PyInit_VBoxPython3_10)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
if oHost.architecture not in
(oVBoxMgr.constants.PlatformArchitecture_x86,
File
"/usr/lib/virtualbox/sdk/bindings/xpcom/python/xpcom/client/__init__.py",
line 391, in __getattr__
raise AttributeError("XPCOM component '%s' has no attribute '%s'" %
(self._object_name_, attr))
*AttributeError: XPCOM component '<unknown>' has no attribute
'architecture'*
Despite the error, I can still use Python API.
2. With above installation, single threading is ok to use, but for
multithreading or multiprocessing, it reports an error "No module named
xpcom". VBoxXPCOM.so is located at /usr/lib/virtualbox.
Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks!
Sample code:
import virtualbox from multiprocessing.pool import Pool vm_names = ["vm1",
"vm2", "vm3"] pool = Pool(processes=len(vm_names)) def vm_func(vm_name): vb
= virtualbox.VirtualBox() # error: no module named 'xpcom' pool = Pool(3)
for name in vm_names: pool.apply_async(func=vm_func, args=(name,))
