Dear Anthony,

I looked at http://hg.codemonkey.ws/libxend, looks real nice. Is it complete ?

If i may ask what other work you are doing on xen ? I see xenfs there as well. I hope you won't mind sharing about your work.

And thanks for the pointer to XendClient.py.

http://hg.codemonkey.ws/libxend

Is pretty close to exhaustive except for scheduler operations and VNET
operations.  Check out XendClient.py, that's the closest thing to a full
list.
