I'm building my virtualenv without system site-packages. It's super lame,
but my nova rpm has a dep on a specific version of libvirt-python and then
includes these symlinks:
ln -s /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py
$(VENV)/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
ln -s /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt_qemu.py
$(VENV)/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
ln -s /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirtmod.so
$(VENV)/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
ln -s /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirtmod_qemu.so
$(VENV)/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
Why isn't libvirt-python on pypi? AFAICT, nothing is stopping us from
uploading it. Maybe we should just stick it on there and this issue
will be resolved once and for all.
