libvirt Python Bindings README
|
||
|
|
==============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
|
||
|
|
using the script generator.py, and the API description from
|
||
|
|
docs/libvirt-api.xml
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Manually written files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- libvirt-override.c: methods where the C binding needs to be hand crafted
|
||
|
|
- libvirt-override.py: global methods where the C and python bindings have different args
|
||
|
|
- libvirt-override-api.xml: methods where the auto-extracted API docs are not
|
||
|
|
suitable for python auto-generator. Overriding this if the method is going
|
||
|
|
into libvirt-override.c, but we still want auto-generated libvirt-override.py
|
||
|
|
- libvirt-override-virConnect.py: virConnect class methods
|
||
|
|
- typewrappers.h,.c: Python object wrappers for each libvirt C object
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Auto-generated files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- libvirt.py: The main python binding. Comprises auto-generated code, along
|
||
|
|
with contents from libvirt-override.py and libvirt-override-virConnect.py
|
||
|
|
- libvirt.c, libvirt.h: The C glue layer for the python binding. Comprises
|
||
|
|
auto-generated code, along with libvirt-override.c
|
||
|
|
- libvirt-export.c: List of auto-generated C methods, included into
|
||
|
|
the libvirt-override.c method table
