Hi, This is Arpita. I am using Libvirt API in the Windows Vista system.VMware is installed over there.I have installed Libvirt and Python 2.6 in the Windows Vista system andhave written a small test file in Python. Here is the code: import libvirt* * import sys conn = libvirt.openReadOnly(None) if conn == None: print *'Failed to open connection to the hypervisor' * sys.exit(1) try: dom0 = conn.lookupByName(*"vmware1"*) except: print *'Failed to find the main domain' * sys.exit(1) print *"Domain 0: id %d running %s"* % (dom0.ID(), dom0.OSType()) print dom0.info() When I am trying to execute this python code I received error message that : ImportError: No module named libvirt Please help me.

Also in order to connect to an ESX server you need to use the openAuth function instead of the openReadOnly one.> if > > conn == None: > > print 'Failed to open connection to the hypervisor' > > sys.exit( > > 1) > > try > > : > > dom0 = conn.lookupByName( > > "vmware1") > > except > > : > > print 'Failed to find the main domain' > > sys.exit( > > 1) > > print > > "Domain 0: id %d running %s" % (dom0.ID(), dom0.OSType()) > > print > > dom0.info() > > When I am trying to execute this python code I received error message that : > > ImportError: No module named libvirtCurrently the libvirt installer for Windows includes the Python bindings but doesn't try to detect an installed Python to put the bindings into the right place yet. You have to do this manually. Copy libvirt.py and libvirtmod.py from the python subdirectory of your libvirt installation to the Lib\site-packages subdirectory in your Python 2.6 installation, for example C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages. Now Python should be able to find the libvirt module. Matthias
