I actually moved the doc changes into a separate patch, since they turned out to be bigger in nature: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-December/msg01334.html > > ACK, although I wasn't (somehow) able to test it with python bindings. Thanks for the review. It turns out reproducing this in python is fairly straightforward; here run pre-patch: $ python >>> def hi(): ... print('hi') ... >>> import libvirt >>> conn = libvirt.open('qemu:///system') >>> conn.domainEventRegisterAny(None, 0, hi, '') libvirt: Remote Driver error : adding cb to list Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 3865, in domainEventRegisterAny raise libvirtError ('virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny() failed', conn=self) libvirt.libvirtError: adding cb to list Not that I'm sure how to set up the python event loop, but that's one way to see the improved error message. At any rate, I've pushed the patch (while waiting for the doc patch review). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
