When using libvirt python you must never call the object
constructors directly, as these are expecting to be passed
a wrapped C object. For example
import libvirt
c = libvirt.virConnect("qemu:///system")
c.listAllDomains()
will mysteriously segfault. With this change the user now
gets an slightly more helpful error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/berrange/src/virt/libvirt-python/build/libvirt.py", line 3409, in __init__
raise Exception("Expected a wrapped C Object but got %s" % type(_obj))
Exception: Expected a wrapped C Object but got <type 'str'>
