python: return dictionary without value in case of no blockjob

2013-08-20T17:44:55+00:00

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=999077

Currently, when there is no blockjob, dom.blockJobInfo('vda')
still reports error because it doesn't distinguish return value 0 from -1.
libvirt.libvirtError: virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() failed

virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() API return value:
 -1 in case of failure, 0 when nothing found, 1 found.

And use PyDict_SetItemString instead of PyDict_SetItem when key is
of string type. PyDict_SetItemString increments key/value reference
count, so call Py_DECREF() for value. For key, we don't need to
do this, because PyDict_SetItemString will handle it internally.

build: clean up stray files found by 'make distcheck'

2013-05-06T20:09:11+00:00

'make distcheck' complained:

ERROR: files left in build directory after distclean:
./python/libvirt.pyc
./tests/commandhelper.log

Problems introduced in commits f015495 and 25ea8e4 (both v1.0.3).

* tests/commandtest.c (test21): Check (and clean) log file.
* tests/commanddata/test21.log: New file.

build: always include sanitytest in tarball

2013-05-03T15:26:38+00:00

The libvirt 1.0.5 tarball is missing a file which renders 'make
check' broken; first reported on list by Guido Günther.

* python/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Hoist sanitytest.py out of
HAVE_PYTHON conditional.

docs: fix usage of 'onto'

2013-04-19T20:31:16+00:00

http://www.uhv.edu/ac/newsletters/writing/grammartip2009.07.01.htm
(and several other sites) give hints that 'onto' is best used if
you can also add 'up' just before it and still make sense. In many
cases in the code base, we really want the two-word form, or even
a simplification to just 'on' or 'to'.

* docs/hacking.html.in: Use correct 'on to'.
* python/libvirt-override.c: Likewise.
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Likewise.
* src/util/virpci.c: Likewise.
* daemon/THREADS.txt: Use simpler 'on'.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Better usage.
* docs/internals/rpc.html.in: Likewise.
* src/conf/domain_event.c: Likewise.
* src/rpc/virnetclient.c: Likewise.
* tests/qemumonitortestutils.c: Likewise.

syntax-check: Only allows to include public headers in external tools

2013-04-18T03:31:19+00:00

With this patch, include public headers in "" form is only allowed
for "internal.h". And only the external tools (examples|tools|python
|include/libvirt) can include the public headers in <> form.

python: set default value to optional arguments

2013-03-26T04:34:49+00:00

When prefixing with string (optional) or optional in the description
of arguments to libvirt C APIs, in python, these arguments will be
set as optional arugments, for example:

 * virDomainSaveFlags:
 * @domain: a domain object
 * @to: path for the output file
 * @dxml: (optional) XML config for adjusting guest xml used on restore
 * @flags: bitwise-OR of virDomainSaveRestoreFlags

 the corresponding python APIs is
 restoreFlags(self, frm, dxml=None, flags=0)

The following python APIs are changed to:
 blockCommit(self, disk, base, top, bandwidth=0, flags=0)
 blockPull(self, disk, bandwidth=0, flags=0)
 blockRebase(self, disk, base, bandwidth=0, flags=0)
 migrate(self, dconn, flags=0, dname=None, uri=None, bandwidth=0)
 migrate2(self, dconn, dxml=None, flags=0, dname=None, uri=None, bandwidth=0)
 migrateToURI(self, duri, flags=0, dname=None, bandwidth=0)
 migrateToURI2(self, dconnuri=None, miguri=None, dxml=None, flags=0, \
               dname=None, bandwidth=0)
 saveFlags(self, to, dxml=None, flags=0)
 migrate(self, domain, flags=0, dname=None, uri=None, bandwidth=0)
 migrate2(self, domain, dxml=None, flags=0, dname=None, uri=None, bandwidth=0)
 restoreFlags(self, frm, dxml=None, flags=0)

python:remove semicolon in python code

python: treat flags as default argument with value 0

2013-03-22T03:50:09+00:00

The following four functions have not changed because default arguments
have to come after positional arguments. Changing them will break the
the binding APIs.

migrate(self, dconn, flags, dname, uri, bandwidth):
migrate2(self, dconn, dxml, flags, dname, uri, bandwidth):
migrateToURI(self, duri, flags, dname, bandwidth):
migrateToURI2(self, dconnuri, miguri, dxml, flags, dname, bandwidth):

python: Fix emulatorpin API bindings

2013-03-21T11:32:03+00:00

The addition of emulator pinning APIs didn't think of doing the right
job with python APIs for them. The default generator produced unusable
code for this.

This patch switches to proper code as in the case of domain Vcpu pining.
This change can be classified as a python API-breaker but in the state
the code was before I doubt anyone was able to use it successfully.
