Thanks Tom for the info, I had remembered twisted being removed but
hadn't realized that XenSV had been since updated. A couple
questions though...
Why not decouple the interface from Apache (as to require only
python be installed)? I am not sure of the performance advantage,
but it should reduce the memory requirements for dom0, allow for a
slightly smaller disk (negligible), and make installation easier.
Well, I didn't want to completely re-implement a HTTP server
(although I suppose its not tough) so I looked at using another one.
The bit that depends on apache/mod_python is minimal, about a 20 line
adapter between mod_python and what twisted used to provide. So if
you wrote your own http server it would be a reasonably straight
forward task to do.
I think this is what you want:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-CGIHTTPServer.html
At some point, I'd like to remove the HTTP server Xend is using and
replace it with SimpleHTTPServer.
I might actually do this, the dependance on apache is a pain, and I
think xend has its own http server in it atm.
Similarly have you looked into writing XenSV in C?
The primary reason I choose python is because thats what we use in
cambridge, and its what all the other tools and written in ;-) Also
it lets me call straight into the XendClient.py stuff, which
simplifies it greatly.
Yeah, until the store is more complete, tools pretty much have to be in
python.
