This is my test case:

I would say that it's working as intended.
In this case yes, but if you add one further line at the end of this example conn2 = dom.get_connection() And then have python garbage collect 'dom' and the original 'conn' you're not safe because 'conn2' didn't increment the reference count: /* * virDomainGetConnect: * @dom: pointer to a domain * * Provides the connection pointer associated with a domain. The * reference counter on the connection is not increased by this * call. */ Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
