Hi Joe,

I'm sorry about the delay. As you can imagine, it's a busy time of
year for us at work.

When I commented on the original patch, I was talking about the type
of exception you were catching. I prefer the approach in the original
patch to this one, with one change:

The RuntimeError class isn't guaranteed to have exception arguments
that include an errno value. The xen.lowlevel.xc.Error class is always
set via PyErr_SetFromErrno(). So instead of

    except RuntimeError, exn:

I'd rather see:

    except xen.lowlevel.xc.Error, exn:

You can import xen.lowlevel.xc.Error to the local namespace by adding
something like:

from xen.lowlevel.xc import xc, Error as XenError
...
except XenError, exn:

Does that make sense?
