Daniel P. Berrange 5bb2a245ab Delete obsolete / unused python test files
The python/tests directory contains a number of so called
"tests" for the python API. These are all hardcoded to
look for Xen and cannot be run in any automated fashion,
and no one is ever manually running them. Given that they
don't meaningully contribute to the test coverage, delete
them.

For some reason these tests were also copied into the
filesystem as part of 'make install'. The change to the
RPM in commit 3347a42032
caused a build failure, since it removed the code which
deleted these installed tests.

    libvirt Python Bindings README
    ==============================

Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
using the script  generator.py, and the API description from
docs/libvirt-api.xml


Manually written files:

 - libvirt-override.c: methods where the C binding needs to be hand crafted
 - libvirt-override.py: global methods where the C and python bindings have different args
 - libvirt-override-api.xml: methods where the auto-extracted API docs are not
   suitable for python auto-generator. Overriding this if the method is going
   into libvirt-override.c, but we still want auto-generated libvirt-override.py
 - libvirt-override-virConnect.py: virConnect class methods
 - typewrappers.h,.c: Python object wrappers for each libvirt C object


Auto-generated files:

  - libvirt.py: The main python binding. Comprises auto-generated code, along
    with contents from libvirt-override.py and libvirt-override-virConnect.py
  - libvirt.c, libvirt.h: The C glue layer for the python binding. Comprises
    auto-generated code, along with libvirt-override.c
  - libvirt-export.c: List of auto-generated C methods, included into
    the libvirt-override.c method table
