I previously proposed this here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-December/msg00899.html although it's been on my wish list a lot longer than that. Questions: I had the new API take nformats as an int, and return the number of populated slots; should I switch this to take *nformats as a pointer (being both input and output) with a return value of 0, so as to be more consistent with things like virDomainGetMemoryParameters? I'm not very familiar with writing python bindings, at least not without the benefit of copy-and-paste, and I didn't see a good example to copy from. Ultimately, I envision that the python API will be something like virConnect.domainNativeFormats(self, flags), with a return being a python list of strings (where the underlying code calls virConnectDomainNativeFormats twice, once to determine the list size, and once to determine the list contents), but I'm not sure how to go about doing that (I don't know if generator.py can do it, or if it needs an override, or what). So I left the python bindings undone, and would appreciate if someone else can step in and help.
