Hi,
=20
I've been asked to create some test scripts to test programs running on
VMware servers.
The programs I'm testing are batch-style programs: set up some files,
run the program, look at the output files.
The Vix interface appears sufficient for this.

Seeing that the Vix library has C, Perl, and Python bindings available,
my boss chose Python.
Currently I'm working on Windows, but unix is also available.

I've started writing the tests using the standard unittest module.

Simple things seem to work OK, but now I have started running multiple
tests involving connecting and disconnecting to a VM, the python process
is crashing ("python.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close").
The crashes seem to be related to closing a VM, either explicitly or
when the python program is exiting.
=20
Is there anything that anyone thinks I ought to know about pyvix or Vix
in general?
Any general recommendations? Any patches folks have created?
Any specific hints on compiling pyvix and running under a debugger (to
try and find out why it's crashing) (Win or unix)?
Anyone interested in problems with pyvix?

Thanks in advance,

Tim
