If registering our own event loop implementation written in python, any handles or timeouts callbacks registered by libvirt C code must be wrapped in a python function. There is some argument trickery that makes this all work, by wrapping the user passed opaque value in a tuple, along with the callback function. Problem is, the current setup requires the user's event loop to know about this trickery, rather than just treating the opaque value as truly opaque. Fix this in a backwards compatible manner, and adjust the example python event loop to do things the proper way.
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
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.
