Thanks for reporting this bug.

I cannot reproduce this. Could you please try running

sudo apt-get build-dep libvirt-python

and see if that solves it for you?

[jean-christophe manciot (manciot-jeanchristophe)]

Thanks for your answer.
However, in the meantime, I have installed the package from the official repository.

I'm trying to compile the sources once more - this time 1.2.13 - on a fresh different system: Ubuntu Server 15.04

I'm running into the same kind of issue "Missing type converters", although this time they are a bit different:

python setup.py build
running build
/usr/bin/pkg-config --print-errors --atleast-version=0.9.11 libvirt
/usr/bin/python generator.py libvirt /usr/local/share/libvirt/api/libvirt-api.xml

Missing type converters:

ERROR: failed virDomainInterfaceAddresses
ERROR: failed virDomainInterfaceFree
error: command '/usr/bin/python' failed with exit status 1

If you want to reproduce it, my suggestion is to completely uninstall python-libvirt.
Maybe some dependencies are not met on my system, but which ones?
