[Libvir] Still can't run a simple python test libvirt !

[Omer Khalid]

Thank you Daniel! So setting up the PYTHONPATH variable did the trick!
Although the simple test executes, but with an interesting error complaining
about an undefined symbol in libvirtmod.so

[root at lcgctb9 libvirt]# python testLibvirt.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "testLibvirt.py", line 1, in ?
    import libvirt
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 7, in ?
    import libvirtmod
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libvirtmod.so: undefined
symbol: PyEval_ThreadsInitialized

Regards
Omer
