if build libvirt-python with some old xml lib (python-pyxml),
build will fail and error like this:
File "generator.py", line 139, in start
if "string" in attrs:
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/xmlreader.py" \
, line 316, in __getitem__
return self._attrs[name]
KeyError: 0
This is an old issue and have been mentioned in commit 3ae0a76d.
There is no __contains__ in class AttributesImpl, python will use
__getitem__ in this place, so we will get error.
Let's use 'YYY in XXX.keys()' to avoid this issue.

Libvirt Python Binding README
=============================
This package provides a python binding to the libvirt.so,
libvirt-qemu.so and libvirt-lxc.so library APIs.
It is written to build against any version of libvirt that
is 0.9.11 or newer.
This code is distributed under the terms of the LGPL version
2 or later.
The module can be built by following the normal python module
build process
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
or to install as non-root
python setup.py build
python setup.py install --user
If python-nose is installed, you can test the package with
python setup.py test
A makefile shim is provided so that you can do
make && make check
rather than directly invoking setup.py.
As of libvirt 1.2.6, it is possible to develop against an uninstalled
libvirt.git checkout, by setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variables to point into that libvirt tree; you can even
automate this by using libvirt's run script:
/path/to/libvirt/run python setup.py build
Patches for this code should be sent to the main libvirt
development mailing list
http://libvirt.org/contact.html#email
To send patches, it is strongly recommended to use the
'git send-email' command.
Make sure the mails mention that the patch is for the python
binding. This can be done by setting a config parameter in the
local git checkout
git config format.subjectprefix "PATCH python"
