[lxc-users] why some keys in my config are said to be invalid ?

[Benoit Barthelet]

I don't understand why some keys in my config aren't accessible through
python while they are in the config file.
So I wrote this little snippet that shows the lines present in my config
that aren't accessible through python.
See the lines with the >>> in the output:
I discovered that because I wanted to get the value of lxc.id_map mostly,
and the MAC address too.
Is this accessible differently ?
thanks
