1 libvirt Python Bindings README
2 ==============================
4 Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
5 using the script generator.py, and the API description from
9 Manually written files:
11 - libvirt-override.c: methods where the C binding needs to be hand crafted
12 - libvirt-override.py: global methods where the C and python bindings have different args
13 - libvirt-override-api.xml: methods where the auto-extracted API docs are not
14 suitable for python auto-generator. Overriding this if the method is going
15 into libvirt-override.c, but we still want auto-generated libvirt-override.py
16 - libvirt-override-virConnect.py: virConnect class methods
17 - typewrappers.h,.c: Python object wrappers for each libvirt C object
22 - libvirt.py: The main python binding. Comprises auto-generated code, along
23 with contents from libvirt-override.py and libvirt-override-virConnect.py
24 - libvirt.c, libvirt.h: The C glue layer for the python binding. Comprises
25 auto-generated code, along with libvirt-override.c
26 - libvirt-export.c: List of auto-generated C methods, included into
27 the libvirt-override.c method table
