Description of problem: I'm writing a tool that needs to change the native_type attribute of a partition, e.g., from Linux to Linux LVM. However, I cannot do this as the attribute is not writable. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: In [1]: import parted In [2]: dev = parted.PedDevice.get('/dev/sda') In [3]: disk = parted.PedDisk.new(dev) In [4]: sda1 = disk.get_partition(1) In [5]: sda1.native_type Out[5]: 131 In [6]: sda1.native_type = 0x8e --------------------------------------------------------------------------- exceptions.TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) /home/george/test/pyparted-1.8.9/<ipython console> TypeError: attribute 'native_type' of 'PedPartition' objects is not writable
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
pyparted-2.0.0 has been released and built in rawhide now. This version of pyparted exposes the entire libparted API to the developer. The 'native_type' attribute is no longer available as it is not part of the libparted library. pyparted now has a project page: http://fedorahosted.org/pyparted/ If you'd like to suggest improvements or report bugs, you can do so in the Red Hat Bugzilla system or at the upstream project.
