I got a bug report from the Ubuntu packager that libguestfs didn't work with python3 yesterday. I've just fixed it. Not sure if that bug was connected with Openstack usage? > Using libguestfs would make perfect sense.

I'm actually going to start looking at Openstack in a lot more detail starting from later this week / early next week. I want to see if it can help me solve the problem I have provisioning and managing dozens of VMs in my local network ...
