A user reported this crash when using python bindings:
File "/home/nox/workspace/NOX/src/NOX/hooks.py", line 134, in trigger
hook.trigger(event)
File "/home/nox/workspace/NOX/src/NOX/hooks.py", line 33, in trigger

libvirt.VIR_MEMORY_PHYSICAL)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 1759, in memoryPeek
ret = libvirtmod.virDomainMemoryPeek(self._o, start, size, flags)
SystemError: error return without exception set
In the python bindings, returning NULL makes python think an
exception was thrown, while returning the None object lets the
wrappers know that a libvirt error exists.
Reported by Nox DaFox, fix suggested by Dan Berrange.
* python/libvirt-override.c (libvirt_virDomainBlockPeek)
(libvirt_virDomainMemoryPeek): Return python's None object, so
wrapper knows to check libvirt error.
libvirt Python Bindings README
==============================
Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
using the script generator.py, and the API description from
docs/libvirt-api.xml
Manually written files:
- libvirt-override.c: methods where the C binding needs to be hand crafted
- libvirt-override.py: global methods where the C and python bindings have different args
- libvirt-override-api.xml: methods where the auto-extracted API docs are not
suitable for python auto-generator. Overriding this if the method is going
into libvirt-override.c, but we still want auto-generated libvirt-override.py
- libvirt-override-virConnect.py: virConnect class methods
- typewrappers.h,.c: Python object wrappers for each libvirt C object
Auto-generated files:
- libvirt.py: The main python binding. Comprises auto-generated code, along
with contents from libvirt-override.py and libvirt-override-virConnect.py
- libvirt.c, libvirt.h: The C glue layer for the python binding. Comprises
auto-generated code, along with libvirt-override.c
- libvirt-export.c: List of auto-generated C methods, included into
the libvirt-override.c method table
