[lxc-users] Config settings and Python LXC Api calls

[Kevin LaTona]

Yes… of course… I was verfying I did not miss it ……… as I was walking thru the Plugin code looking around.

I tend to read and parse what is in a file vs looping thru 50 Key name options to figure what is in a file vs not.

Guess it's not a big deal….. just another way to get at what is in there.

Some days one just has to ask to verify.

Nice work on this Python plugin by the way…. hard to believe more folks are not using it.
