[Libvir] [PATCH] Python bindings now generate exceptions for libvirt errors

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Following on from this thread:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-March/thread.html#00341

The first attachment is a patch which changes the generated Python 
bindings so that they always raise an exception when an underlying error 
occurs in the C libvirt library.

The second attachment is for information only (not to be applied) - it 
shows the differences in the generated file libvirtclass.py.  I have 
checked each of these changes by hand against both the libvirt.c 
interface description and the C implementation of the Python bindings 
(libvir.c and libvirt-py.c), and each change seems correct.

I have _not_ tested this against virt-manager.  It is quite possible 
that virt-manager will cease to work if it wasn't checking the return 
values from affected functions carefully.  I'll check this later today 
and supply a patch (to virt-manager) if necessary.

I have some additional questions about the Python bindings, but I'll put 
those in a separate thread.

Rich.
