If registering our own event loop implementation written in python, any handles or timeouts callbacks registered by libvirt C code must be wrapped in a python function. There is some argument trickery that makes this all work, by wrapping the user passed opaque value in a tuple, along with the callback function. Problem is, the current setup requires the user's event loop to know about this trickery, rather than just treating the opaque value as truly opaque. Fix this in a backwards compatible manner, and adjust the example python event loop to do things the proper way.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
