alter groups on an existing machine (IMachine) #21

Closed jgander closed 7 years ago

jgander commented 10 years ago

Attempting to adjust the group for an already registered virtual machine, see example below:

import virtualbox vbox = virtualbox.VirtualBox() machine = vbox.find_machine('win7') -> <virtualbox.library_ext.machine.IMachine at 0x7f08108ed350> machine.groups -> [u'/'] type(machine.groups) -> list

At ths point the list cannot be appended, replace, pop etc.

This will probably require new tech under the IMachine interface defined in the library_ext sub module. Maybe a property which exposed an aggregated member that has the smarts to add and remove groups from a machine instance. (But implements the MutableSequence abc?).

This is something I want to get into the next release.

sethmlarson commented 7 years ago

So I just did a little inspection and the .groups method doesn't return a list any more? It returns a str value?

sethmlarson commented 7 years ago

Seems like I'm correct that this is now a string value and is therefore editable. No helper needed! Closing this.
