Introduce a new public API that provides a way to get progress
info on currently running jobs on a virDomainpPtr. APIs that
are initially within scope of this idea are
virDomainMigrate
virDomainMigrateToURI
virDomainSave
virDomainRestore
virDomainCoreDump
These all take a potentially long time and benefit from monitoring.
The virDomainJobInfo struct allows for various pieces of information
to be reported
- Percentage completion
- Time
- Overall data
- Guest memory data
- Guest disk/file data
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Add virDomainGetJobInfo
* python/generator.py, python/libvirt-override-api.xml,
python/libvirt-override.c: Override for virDomainGetJobInfo API
* python/typewrappers.c, python/typewrappers.h: Introduce wrapper
for unsigned long long type
The recent commit to implement a python version of this function
didn't drop an explicit 'ignore' check in the generator, so this
never ended up in the bindings.
adds a new python API call for retrieving the running
hypervisor version used by a connection: virConnectGetVersion
* python/generator.py: skip virConnectGetVersion from autogenerated
* python/libvirt-override-api.xml python/libvirt-override.c: define
direct native bindings
The latter is not officially "wrong", but *is* terribly anachronistic.
I think automake documentation or comments call that syntax obsolescent.
* cfg.mk (_makefile_at_at_check_exceptions): Exempt @SCHEMADIR@
and @SYSCONFDIR@ uses -- there are no Makefile variables for those.
* docs/Makefile.am: Use $(INSTALL), not @INSTALL@.
* examples/dominfo/Makefile.am: Similar.
* examples/domsuspend/Makefile.am: Similar.
* proxy/Makefile.am: Similar.
* python/Makefile.am: Similar.
* python/tests/Makefile.am: Similar.
* src/Makefile.am: Similar.
* tests/Makefile.am: Similar.
Enable virDomainMemoryStats in the python API. dom.memoryStats() will return a
dictionary containing the supported statistics. A dictionary is required
because the meaining of each quantity cannot be inferred from its index in a
list.
* python/generator.py: reenable bindings for this entry point
* python/libvirt-override-api.xml python/libvirt-override.c: the
generator can't handle this new function, add the new binding,
and the XML description
Set up the types for the domainMemoryStats function and insert it into the
virDriver structure definition. Because of static initializers, update
every driver and set the new field to NULL.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: new API
* src/driver.h src/*/*_driver.c src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: add the new
entry to the driver structure
* python/generator.py: fix compiler errors, the actual python binding is
implemented later
Commit 66137344fe changed the Python detection
mechanism in configure to use AM_PATH_PYTHON. This results in a changed
install location for the Python bindings, at least on Fedora 12 64bit systems.
Before this commit libvirt.py and libvirtmod.so were installed to
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages
After this commit they are installed to
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
Mixed Python packages (containing *.py and *.so files) should be installed to
the pyexecdir directory detected by AM_PATH_PYTHON.
This restores the install location from before the AM_PATH_PYTHON commit.
* configure.in: remove unnecessary pythondir export
* python/Makefile.am: switch from pythondir to pyexecdir
Using AM_PATH_PYTHON solves the site-packages directory problem. At least
in Ubuntu with Python 2.6 and later site-packages is renamed to dist-packages
and site-packages is not part of sys.path anymore. So installing the libvirt
Python bindings to site-packages renders them unusable, because they can be
imported from there without manually including site-packages into sys.path.
AM_PATH_PYTHON detects the correct site-packages/dist-packages directory.
python-config --includes gives the correct include path for the Python header
files. The old probing code stays there as fallback mechanism.
* configure.in: use AM_PATH_PYTHON and python-config
* python/Makefile.am: remove -I because PYTHON_INCLUDES contains it now
* libvirt-override.c: Add many missing calls to allow threading
when entering C code, otherwise python blocks & then deadlocks
when we have an async event to dispatch back into python code.
Fix return value check for virDomainPinVcpu binding.
* python/generator.py python/libvirt-override-api.xml
python/libvirt-override.c: implement the bindings for
virConnectListInterfaces() and virConnectListDefinedInterfaces()
There is currently no way to determine the libvirt version of a remote
libvirtd we are connected to. This is a useful piece of data to enable
feature detection.
suggested by danpb on irc, patch by danken fixed for proper C syntax
* python/libvirt-override.c: on event callback release the python
interpreter lock and take it again when coming back so that the
callback can reinvoke libvirt.
A mistake in the generator was causing virInterface methods to be generated
with unpredicatable names ('ceUndefine', instead of just 'undefine'). This
fixes the method names to match existing convention.
Does anyone care if we are breaking API compat? My guess is that no one is
using the python interface bindings yet.

The API docs explictly warn that we shouldn't use the C vir*GetConnect calls
in bindings: doing so can close the internal connection pointer and cause
things to get screwy. Implement these calls in python.

xmllib has been deprecated since python 2.0, and running the generator throws
a warning. Move to using xml.sax
Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
FastParser uses sgmlop, a non-standard python module meant as a replacement
for xmllib (which is deprecated since python 2.0). Fedora doesn't even carry
this module, and the generator doesn't have high performance requirements, so
just rip the code out.
