Subject: python: Add ovs_error() helper function to Python.
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ffc86c0db7d5ad44cd0ec513d08f0160afa06a9c;p=openvswitch

python: Add ovs_error() helper function to Python.

The ovs_error() and ovs_fatal() helper functions are useful enough
to be ported to Python.  A user will be added in a future commit.
