[vbox-dev] How to create an object implementing VirtualBoxCallback from python?

[Nikolay Igotti]

  Hi,

Thanks for bringing our attention to this issue.
VirtualBox 3.0 will have public method in IVirtualBox 
waitForEvents(timeout) designed to cover exactly this issue.
Until then, please just call some API method periodically (just like you 
suggested in your message).

Thanks,
Nikolay
