The above style isn't consistent with previous codes, the
libvirt_constcharPtrWrap is
a wrapper function, it will be better to uniform them.

In addition, the function libvirt_constcharPtrWrap will call
PyString_FromString() to
return a new reference of a string, but the original string memory
hasn't been released,
so original function/caller need to free it, moreover, the
libvirt_constcharPtrWrap is
called in a loop, so you also need to free it in a loop and 'default'
branch.
    Hi Alex

      The call to PyString_FromString() will cause Python memory manager
    to allocate a new string object in Python's private heap rather than
    incrementing a reference to the string in system heap.
      Meanwhile, the function returns the ownership of a new reference(probably
    the first one) to the string object to "val".
      According to the Memory Management doc,"PyDict_SetItem() and friends
    don’t take over ownership" that means It doesn't increment the reference
    to the string object.
I haven't found a certain document in python.org about whether PyDict_SetItem() borrows/steals a references, please paste a link in here if you find it, it will be helpful
for others, thanks.

In addition, you can find a exact answer in dictobject.c, the function PyDict_SetItem()
indeed increases reference count for key and value:

http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Objects/dictobject.c

Moreover, I saw the wrapper function libvirt_constcharPtrWrap() also increase reference
count.
      So, The object reference returned from the C function that is called from Python
    is returned to the Python program with only one reference. as for the string
    in the system heap, it is release by "free(params)" above the last return.

You should note it's a loop! so you should free memory in loop like this:
<snip>
for(i=0; i < nparams; i++)
    if (params[i].type == VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING)
        free(params[i].value.s);

free(params);
</snip>

Meanwhile, also do it in 'default' branch.
