[virt-tools-list] virt-manager internals help

[Gene Czarcinski]

My work on adding IPv6 support to virt-manager is proceeding nicely in 
spite of not being very good at python or xml.  I have pretty much 
figured out what needs to be done and one of those things is the 
introduce some (a lot) memory into the processing of the xml for a 
network definition.  For example, the network definition and a dhcp 
definition need to be part of the same <ip>

The thing that is puzzling me is just where self.get_xml() is defined 
(see network.py around line 100).  The only place I can see this defined 
is in domain.py and that does not make sense to me.

IIUC, get_xml() returns a string which includes the entire definition 
and where each parse currently starts fresh ... we need to march through 
the elements one at a time and process each element before proceeding to 
the next.
