[Bug 1542438] [NEW] Python LXC api needs to be much better at error reporting

[Christopher Townsend]

Public bug reported:

I use the Python API extensively on the lp:libertine project.  However,
when there is an error somewhere in the LXC layer, the only thing that
is returned is False which is not very useful when trying to figure out
what has gone wrong.

For example, I try to use the Container.create() method and it is
failing  However, when I try using the lxc-create CLI tool using the
same exact parameters, it works.  Since the Python API does not have an
error output, I'm having a very difficult time figuring out why the
Python create is failing.
