[libvirt] Python binding to virConnectListInterfaces

[Shahar Klein]

OK, Thanks

How about listing interfaces for a VM(virDomainListInterfaces )
will you accept such an API?

  yes, basically it doesn't know how to handle char **const names
parameter.

  add the function name there so that the generator won't try to add the
bindings

yes and

add an entry for the function in python/libvirt-python-api.xml
that's an XML description of the intefaces fow which bindings are
implemented manually.
I guess if you have the 3 you should be all set. See for example
how virConnectListDomains is handled, that should be fairly similar
except with strings.
