[libvirt] Python binding APIs strict or loose
Hi
There is a question. we need strict python binding API
or loose one.
For example:
The setSchedulerParameters(), it accepts one of
parameters: 'vcpu_quota'
In C its type is of 'long long', then we need a
conversion from PyInt/PyLong
to 'long long' by using cpython function
'PyLong_AsLongLong'.
The problem is when the user python pass in a value of
type Pyfloat instead
of PyInt/PyLong, the cpython function drops the
fraction part of the value
automatically, Is it what we want or we need to add a
type checking to ensure that
the type of value passed in is PyInt/PyLong, otherwise,
we raise an exception.
>> dom.schedulerParameters()
{'vcpu_quota': -1L, 'vcpu_period': 100000L,
'cpu_shares': 500L}
>> dom.setSchedulerParameters({'vcpu_quota': 10.88})
works as dom.setSchedulerParameters({'vcpu_quota': 10})
Any idea?
