Description Alex Jia 2009-03-28 06:43:44 UTC

Description of problem:

the libvirt version 0.6.1-4.el5,libvirt-python version 0.6.1-4.el5,
in the libvirt.py module, in class virDomain, when blockPeek and memoryPeek functions are called,display information "libvirtmod module object has no attribute 'virDomainMemoryPeek' and 'virDomainBlockPeek'"  
 
and I have looked over libvirtmod dynamic link library(libvirt.so),
which do not have this method to export.


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
libvirt.so don't export 'virDomainMemoryPeek' and 'virDomainBlockPeek' method 

Expected results:
export this two methods

Additional info:

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2009-03-28 17:36:40 UTC

The libvirt.so *does* export these methods

$ nm -a -D /usr/lib/libvirt.so | grep Peek
00028770 T virDomainBlockPeek
00028590 T virDomainMemoryPeek


The problem is simply that the python bindings have not implemented wrappers for them.

Comment 2 Alex Jia 2009-03-29 07:28:09 UTC

libvirt.so does export these methods,it should be libvirtmod.so instead of libvirt.so in description of problem,Just like you said，the python bindings have not implemented wrappers for them.so when blockPeek and memoryPeek functions are called in libvrit.py,information display "libvirtmod module object has no attribute 'virDomainMemoryPeek' and 'virDomainBlockPeek'"

Comment 3 Perry Myers 2009-03-30 15:26:49 UTC

libvirt-0.6.1-4.el5 is not presently on RHEVH Node images as we are still using 0.5.1.  This bug should really be moved to RHEL5.4 instead of RHEV.

Comment 4 Daniel Veillard 2009-04-23 14:12:05 UTC

There is still no support for virDomainMemoryPeek and virDomainBlockPeek
in the python bindings upstream. I don't expect that to be added before 5.4

Comment 5 Alex Jia 2009-06-01 01:39:28 UTC

rhel5.4-server is still no support for virDomainMemoryPeek and virDomainBlockPeek
in the python bindings upstream.

Comment 9 flying 2011-08-06 15:43:28 UTC

still no support for virDomainMemoryPeek
[root@lion site-packages] nm -a -D libvirtmod.so |grep Peek

tried with latest Version - libvirt-python 0.9.4-1
