This patch set, especially #4, removes a bunch of code duplication in
the Device classes' setup/teardown/create/destroy methods.

The only part I'm not totally happy with is the UI stuff. I like the
idea, but it seems less than elegant. Ideas for improvement are welcome.

I know I'm late to the party ;) But is there a reason not to use
docstrings for long comments explaining what is going on? At some point
it would be nice if running doxygen on the code would generate useful
docs.

I tried this back in 2006 (api target and docs/api.cfg), but it didn't
really go anywhere.

When we got started on the storage system rewrite, we all did a pretty
good job of making use of Python docstrings.  In this case though, the
functions he's commenting on are internal.  I don't think comments on
those should be exposed to external module users, so I agree with the use
of '#'.

If someone wants to ressurect the doxygen effort and get a constantly
regenerating set of anaconda API docs, feel free.  I had a cron job taking
care of that and uploading it to my fedorapeople page (last run is still
there, I think).  I didn't find the doxygen output as useful as
"help(TOPIC)" in ipython.
