https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=884103 The python/tests directory contains a number of so called "tests" for the python API. These are all hardcoded to look for Xen and cannot be run in any automated fashion, and no one is ever manually running them. Given that they don't meaningully contribute to the test coverage, delete them. For some reason these tests were also copied into the filesystem as part of 'make install'. The change to the RPM in commit 3347a4203278ec93d7b0ceb88b5ed10e4f14765c caused a build failure, since it removed the code which deleted these installed tests. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit 5bb2a245abbde4c0a407f631660e2f2c81bc4c02)
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
