def defineXML(self, xml):

        """Define a domain, but does not start it.

        This definition is persistent, until explicitly undefined with

        virDomainUndefine(). A previous definition for this domain would be

        overriden if it already exists. """

        ret = libvirtmod.virDomainDefineXML(self._o, xml)

        if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainDefineXML() failed', conn=self)

        __tmp = virDomain(self,_obj=ret)

        return __tmp

In my python program

#test.py

import libvirt

conn=libvirt.open("qemu:///system")

xml=...

conn.defineXML(xml) # Because i need this xml to be wrong for feature testing here                                                                # Error will happen here, and error message is printed to stderr.

The error message is annoying.

I need to know how to hide the error message printing to stderr by libvirtmod.

After i add sys.stderr = open('xxx', 'w') before invoking conn.defineXML(xml),  the error message is still printed to the terminal. Which means, i can redirect stderr to anywhere else in my python program,  but it changes back to terminal when control flow go to libvirtmod.

Any ideas?
