Oh, also I notice that starting a console using the python api works great - but the escape character is '`' by default. Anyway, Acked-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serge.hal...@ubuntu.com> because whether or not those two things are by design, this is great. thanks, -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Lxc-devel mailing list Lxc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-devel
