Hi all,
Thanks for an excellent project! I've have found it really useful!
I was missing a python binding so I decided to create one myself!
I've been thinking for awhile myself that python bindings would be nice
to have. Thanks for taking care of it.
All the main functions are in place but it still need some work like
proper unit tests for example.
I would really appreciate if someone would like to have a look at it and
give me some feedback!
Not being a big python user myself, I'm not sure what they *should* look
like, but when I was thinking I would have to do it myself, I was
figuring on doing something as close to libvirt as possible (libvirt
already has python bindings for all its API functions, including the
virInterface* functions, which are just thin wrappers around netcf).
This thought was as far as I'd gotten (I hadn't even looked yet to see
what libvirt's bindings were like ;-)
Anyway, if they work, and mimic the C API, then they're fine with me. I
would appreciate review from other more python-savy list readers before
committing them, though.
The project can be found on github at the moment:
http://github.com/lsjostro/python-netcf
Would it be make sense to commit it to the main netcf repo our should I
request separate fedorahosted project?
Definitely they should end up being committed directly into the netcf
repo. That way when someone adds a new API, it can be a requirement that
they update the python bindings at the same time.
Thanks again for the contribution!
