Some clarification, because I forgot to put this in libvirt_xml docstring :( My hope for libvirt_xml module is it should be an interface between tests and virsh_*() functions. i.e. it should make writing tests that deal with xml stuff and libvirt, easy to write.

You're exactly right and working along these lines with your new class (below). But I just wanted to be clear about this module. I'll try to remember to update docstring.

Some notes/comments below...

Not sure this is needed if...(see below)
Yes, I will remove this class. I have refused by LibvirtXML.:-)

+class NetworkXML(xml_utils.XMLTreeFile):

My intention ws for LibvirtXML to be a base class in this module. Then we have a place for general utility methods. Can we make NetworkXML a subclass of LibvirtXML? Maybe should I rename it to LibvirtXMLBase()? This way, we don't need NetworkXMLError (unless you have idea for it), can just use LibvirtXMLError?
Yes, I prefer it to be LibvirtXMLBase(...).:-)


+    """

+    """
+
+    # The root of network xml
+    network_xml = None

If NetworkXML is a subclass of LibvirtXML or xml_utils.XMLTreeFile, then network_xml is unnecessary. The instance itself will be both a XML ElementTree _and_ a file object (open on an automatic backup copy of source).
Right, Since tangchen has a new tree of libvirt_xml.py, I will take a look and take some comments there.


+
+    def __init__(self, xml):
+        """
+        Initialize from a string or filename containing Network XML
source.
+
+        param: xml: A filename or string containing Network XML
+        """
+        xml_utils.XMLTreeFile.__init__(self, xml)
+        self.network_xml = self._root

It's not safe to access another class's private namespace like this. However, it is safe to assume 'self' is already an ElementTree and file-like object, so self.find() and self.get_root() will all work.

Ok, I know.^

+        if name:
+            self.network_xml.find('name').text = name
+        if uuid:
+            self.network_xml.find('uuid').text = uuid

How about if this method's code is part of __init__, with name and uuid as optional parameters?

Some more ideas: Method/function to produce network_xml instance from virsh dump call? What about adding special methods __eq__, __ne__, __cmp__? Could also hijack __add__ and __sub__ to do some cool things too (maybe set or unset properties that are == None?). Just some ideas.

Thanks,
Yu
