I think what is happening is that you've got an older version of libguestfs installed than the one you're building the python bindings for.
Because libguestfs (eg. git) contains its own python bindings, the assumption has always been that the version of libguestfs will be exactly the same (ie. all APIs will be present and identical).
If you build different versions, then that's no longer true, so you see errors from "missing" APIs (ie. ones not present in your old version of libguestfs). eg:
build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/guestfs-py.o guestfs-py.c:310:26: warning: ‘struct guestfs_btrfsbalance’ declared inside parameter list [enabled by default] put_btrfsbalance (struct guestfs_btrfsbalance *btrfsbalance) ^
This could be fixed, but needs patching in generator/python.ml upstream.
I tried to have a go at solving this, but it's not as easy as it seems. So I punted it and filed a bug instead: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1262983 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.
