[Pyvix-discuss] Is this project dead?

[Patrick D. <pat...@vm...>]

Hey guys,

I was looking through the archives and haven't seen any activity since 
2007.  Is the project dead?

I've been working some python bindings for libvix which uses ctypes to 
create a very "pythonic" type library.  A sample of how you would work 
with it would look like:

  $ python
  Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec  7 2009, 18:43:55)
  [GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import vix
  >>> v = vix.Vix()
  >>> v.connect()
  >>> vm = v.get_virtual_machine('/path/to/vm.vmx')
  >>> vm.login('username', 'password')
  >>> vm.put_file('myfile', '/path/to/dir/on/host/myfile')
  >>> vm.get_file('/path/to/dir/on/host/myfile')
  >>> vm.rm('/path/to/dir/on/host/myfile')
  >>> vm.ps()
  [(1L, 'init', 'root', '/sbin/init'), (2L, 'kthreadd', 'root',
  'kthreadd'), (3L, '0', 'root', 'migration/0'), (4L, '0', 'root',
  'ksoftirqd/0'), (5L, '0', 'root', 'watchdog/0'), ....]
  >>> vm.kill(pid)
  >>> ...

Let me know if anyone is interested.  So far I've only tested it out with 
Linux, but I would imagine with some tweaking I could get it to work with 
Windows as well.

Thanks!
--Patrick.
