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

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.
