Don't not automatically invoke the 'parse_dom' method from the LibvirtConfigObject constructor, because this is too early in construction - no child class constructors have initialized yet. Instead require the 'parse_dom' method to be invoked after the bare object has been constructed. Also make the default impl of 'parse_dom' take an etree.Element instance and validate its root element name. Add a convenient 'parse_str' method for turning a XML string into an etree.Element instance & parsing it. Change-Id: I7eda2b59869f3b4ef9dce1602cbb05f7662f4528 Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

To tame it for use in your own cloud: read http://docs.openstack.org
To study its anatomy: read http://nova.openstack.org
To dissect it in detail: visit http://github.com/openstack/nova
To taunt it with its weaknesses: use http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova
To watch it: http://jenkins.openstack.org
To hack at it: read HACKING
To cry over its pylint problems: http://jenkins.openstack.org/job/nova-pylint/violations
