Possible, but not especially convenient since you need to convert the C
prototype manually, plus the result is not necessarily very "pythonic".
I could totally see why people would prefer these bindings (or an
argument
for us providing a ctypes based wrapper).
How often is such a debugging interface being used? Please consider
the amount of code (my patch removed nearly 3000 lines of code!) and
the availability of the xl wrapper.
My understanding was that this was used by the "xen-bugtool" stuff in
XenServer, so for actual functionality (gathering debug info) and not
debugging (I supposed that the reference to being used for debugging was
due to the name of the tool).
And this functionality isn't available via the xl bindings?
I always thought that a use case like this was one of the motivations
to introduce libxl.
