libvirt-python broken in rawhide + virt-preview

[Cole Robinson]

Hi all,

libvirt-1.0.2 in rawhide and virt-preview has busted python bindings, which
breaks virt-manager/virt-install. Upstream mailing list posting:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-February/msg00053.html

'yum downgrade libvirt\*' fixes things for me, I'll look into a proper fix
tomorrow.

Hmm, that's odd - I applied the upstream patch for that problem when I
built  1.0.2 for rawhide.

You applied one patch[1], but the discussion pointed out that there was
more than one problem[2]; the second one hasn't been patched upstream yet.

Hmm, so I see. While we're fixing this, we really ought to add a test
case for the python bindings that validates we can at minimum import
all the classes we expect

This is fixed in rawhide/virt-preview now (thanks to danpb for upstream patch
and rawhide build)
