I understand the Python bindings part. I was wondering if the daemon
itself could be written in Python, since I have to deal with a lot of
text parsing from the OpenVZ utils. The LibVirt part that will talk to
the daemon over the proxy/pipe code will anyways have to be C.
I would really prefer C so we can merge daemon code if needed.
I know a bit about textual parsing, I'm not afraid by this, in my
experience doing proper pipe protocol is way harder and we have that
working which you can reuse nearly as is.
