Implement initial Python bindings for Open vSwitch database. These initial bindings pass a few hundred of the corresponding tests for C implementations of various bits of the Open vSwitch library API. The poorest part of them is actually the Python IDL interface in ovs.db.idl, which has not received enough attention yet. It appears to work, but it doesn't yet support writes (transactions) and it is difficult to use. I hope to improve it as it becomes clear what semantics Python applications actually want from an IDL. 2010-08-25 10:26:40 -07:00			`# These are the default directories. They will be replaced by the`

Make installation directories overridable at runtime. This makes it possible to run tests that need access to installation directories, such as the rundir, without having access to the actual installation directories (/var/run is generally not world-writable), by setting environment variables. This is not a good way to do things in general--usually it would be better to choose the correct directories at configure time--so for now this is undocumented. 2010-11-29 12:28:26 -08:00			`import os`
