[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1] dpdk-devbind.py: Virtio interface issue.

[Dey, Souvik]

Hi,

I already followed the 100% python way and submitted the v3 of this patch. http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/15378/
How will your patch be different in solving the issue. There will always be multiple ways to solving things right.

We did this slightly differently. This is 100% python and is a bit more general. We search for the first "net" directory under the specific device directory.

There should be a way to do this in python without going out to shell.
This would be safer and more secure.

The code already uses os.listdir() (which is the python library version of ls) in later section. Why not use that here to check for virtio bus.
