[libvirt] AttributeError in virConnect.__del__ at program exit
Hi, using vdsm python code, I've the following error at program exit that seems to be related to libvirt python code, something wrong in a destructor: Exception AttributeError: AttributeError("virConnect instance has no attribute 'domainEventCallbacks'",) in <bound method virConnect.__del__ of <libvirt.virConnect instance at 0x4280f38>> ignored I'm using libvirt 1.0.6 Is it a known issue? Is there any workaround / fix ? -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology. Faster innovation. Powered by community collaboration. See how it works at redhat.com

I've seen this too, sometimes via the virtinst test suite. Once upon a time I tracked it down to whether the virtinst code did 'import selinux' or not, so maybe it's a just some weird race, or a side effect of something other libraries do in their cleanup path. By inspection alone the __del__ handler doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong. - Cole

It seems related only to domainEventCallbacks so maybe it appears only after a domain creation / modification. -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology. Faster innovation. Powered by community collaboration. See how it works at redhat.com

Oh, sorry, now that I look at the code it makes a bit more sense. The error I was recalling was a __del__ Exception but wasn't involving domain events. But I still don't see why __del__ is complaining, since the whole thing is wrapped in try: ... except AttributeError. So not sure what the issue is. - Cole

According to the python documentation, you can't handle exception in __del__: http://docs.python.org/2/reference/datamodel.html#object.__del__ Warning Due to the precarious circumstances under which __del__() <http://docs.python.org/2/reference/datamodel.html#object.__del__> methods are invoked, exceptions that occur during their execution are ignored, and a warning is printed to sys.stderr instead. So you have to test the existence of the attribute before using it and not try to use it and try to handle an exception that can't be handled. -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.

$ cat test.py class foo(object): def __del__(self): print "in del" try: print self.foo except AttributeError: print "caught" f = foo() del f [crobinso@colepc ~]$ python test.py in del caught So I don't think that interpretation is entirely correct. I think it's just talking about uncaught exceptions. Either way, using hasattr should be fine, I'd make the change to libvirt.py so that your issue doesn't reproduce anymore, then transfer that change to libvirt.git/python/libvirt-override-virConnect.py and submit it. - Cole
