Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
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 : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
