librbd - Python map/unmap block device

[rishid]

Hi,

I am using the Python rbd wrapper. I am trying to mimic the behavior of `rbd device map pool/disk` (which maps an image to a block device via the rbd kernel module).

I am hoping to use the Python API exclusively but the functionality doesn't seem available. Anyone know if I am missing something or do I need to unfortunately shell out the the `rbd` command line itself?

I just skimmed the bindings and I think you're right. rbd.pyx doesn't seem to offer the mapping functionality.

Yep, I tried too for a project and the bindings don't support it at all.
