Which code is wrong here? From looking at this it was my impression
that listNetworks is autogenerated by generator.py, and all the code in
libvir.c is hand-written, but you say:

Actually looks like it is the generated code actually. The generator.py
appears to only add in the 'raise libvirtError' stuff if the return value
is a virConnectPtr/virDomainPtr/virNeworkPtr object - any other function
with a non-object return value gives back None upon error.
