There are six such python API functions like so.
The root reason is that generator.py script checks the type of return
value of a python stub function defined in libvirt-api.xml or
libvirt-override-api.xml to see whether adding the raise clause or not
in python wrapper code in libvirt.py.
The type of return value is supposed to be C types.
For those stub functions which return python non-integer data type like
string, list, tuple, dictionary, the existing type in functions varies
from each other which leads problem like this.
Currently, in generator.py, it maintains a buggy whitelist for stub functions
returning a list type. I think it is easy to forget adding new function name
in the whitelist.
This patch makes the value of type consistent with C type "char *"
in libvirt-override-api.xml. For python, any of types could be printed
as string, so I choose "char *"in this case. And the comment in xml
could explain it when adding new function definition.
<function name='virNodeGetCPUStats' file='python'>
...
- <return type='virNodeCPUStats' info='...'/>
+ <return type='char *' info='...'/>
...
</function>

Any guy would like to review this bug-fixing patch?
Thanks in advance.
