God knows why this was done, but the python binding was written to convert the KB value from the C API into MB :-( PyList_SetItem(py_retval, 1, libvirt_longWrap((long) info.memory >> 10)); For backwards compat reasons, we cannot change that default behaviour:-) We could I guess add a flag to let you request sane behaviour though eg something like conn.getInfo(memkb=True) Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :| _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
