    -- XenStore access the Python way!

What is pyxs?

It's a pure Python XenStore client implementation, which covers all of the libxs features and adds some nice Pythonic sugar on top. Here's a shortlist:

• pyxs supports both Python 2 and 3,
• works over a Unix socket or XenBus,
• has a clean and well-documented API,
• is written in easy to understand Python,
• can be used with gevent <http://www.gevent.org>_ or eventlet <http://eventlet.net>_.
