libvirt users - Mar 2014 - Re: [libvirt] Python-libvirt in a virtual environment.

Hi,
Could you guide me to install libvirt in a virtual environment..?
OR
How python-libvirt could be used within a virtual environment after
installing it, in the system.

Regards
Sijo

Same way as in a non-virtual system.  For example, if your virtual
environment is using Fedora, then 'yum install libvirt-client
libvirt-python', then using it is as simple as:

$ python
>>> import libvirt
>>> conn = libvirt.open("...")
... use conn

where the URI you pass to libvirt.open is whatever needed to connect to
the machine where your guests are running, such as
"qemu://host/system".

@Michel
using virtualenv we can create an isolated environment in the system.
Just go through - http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/
@Eric
I'm using Ubuntu, and I was able to install and use libvirt using sudo
apt-get install python-libvirt but its not available in tg2 virtual
environment.

Moreover if you try to install in the virtualenv using the sudo apt-get
install python-libvirt, it would say  the package is been already installed.
