I'm trying to read from xenstore inside of domU in python. In this
example my domid is 4. I can read from inside domU just fine from the
command line but not using the xs API from python even with correct
permissions.

root@xen1:~# xenstore-read /local/domain/4/name
xen1.numnum.net
root@xen1:~# python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 6, in <module>
    xs = xshandle()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/xen/xend/xenstore/xsutil.py",
line 18, in xshandle
    xs_handle = xen.lowlevel.xs.xs()
xen.lowlevel.xs.Error: (2, 'No such file or directory')

test.py is:
#!/usr/bin/env python

from xen.xend.xenstore.xstransact import *
from xen.xend.xenstore.xsutil import *

xs = xshandle()
th = xs.transaction_start()
print xs.read(th, "/local/domain/4/name")
xs.transaction_end(th)
#xstransact.Read("/local/domain/4/name")

This code works fine in dom0. I've found that if i do xenstore-read -s
it will give me the same No such file or directory error. The -s
parameter forces xenstore-read to call xs_daemon_open() instead of
xs_domain_open(). The python lowlevel xs file always calls
xs_daemon_open(). Is this the issue? What is the difference between
daemon and domain_open?

Also just to test, I tried to run xend inside domU. Xend fails with an
operation not permitted error, but then when I run test.py after that
I get a Connection Refused error instead of No such file or directory.
Not sure what is going on. I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 with Xen 3.1.0 from
their prebuilt packages.

Thanks
Kareem
