Thanks!
But I'm not clear that what the language binding means?
What the relationship between they? Is that the code from
https://libvirt.org/sources/ can be replaced completely by
the code from https://libvirt.org/sources/python?
Language bindings are the means through which libvirt, which is
implemented in C, can be used from non-C languages such as Python.
It's basically a bunch of glue code that allows Python code to
call into C code.
In order to use libvirt from Python, you need to have *both*
libvirt itself *and* the Python bindings installed on the system:
libvirt-python doesn't replace libvirt, and in fact can't work at
all unless the C library is available as well.
