Description Brian Lane 2011-12-16 18:30:19 UTC
When using the python library for libvirt it prints a warning when you import libvirt. I tracked it down to the libvirtmod binary module.

Importing a module should not print anything.

Comment 1 Dave Allan 2011-12-16 19:59:25 UTC
You didn't mention what version of libvirt you're using, but I see no warning when I import libvirt using a fully updated F16.  Can you retry this with a fully updated F16 and if it reproduces, provide the warning message, the version of the libvirt and python packages and a trivial example script (maybe that's as simple as 'import libvirt').

Comment 2 Brian Lane 2011-12-16 20:14:59 UTC
whoops, sorry about that. Ends up I had libvirt-python installed, but didn't have virtualization setup on the machine.

Comment 3 Eric Blake 2012-01-18 22:03:18 UTC
Re-opening - I reproduced it.  The culprit is that the libvirt testsuite invokes virsh with a super-restricted environment (_just_ LANG=C and nothing else, not even PATH), and gnutls_global_init() doesn't like that.
