Commit 66137344feb488ea87b0d92f3c03844d9a7a7786 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
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.

Description

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
