<h1>Bindings for other languages</h1>
<p>
Libvirt supports C and C++ directly, and has bindings available
for other languages:
</p>
<ul><li>
<strong>C#</strong>: Arnaud Champion develops
<a href="csharp.html" shape="rect">C# bindings</a>.
</li><li>
<strong>Java</strong>: Daniel Veillard develops
<a href="java.html" shape="rect">Java bindings</a>.
</li><li>
<strong>OCaml</strong>: Richard Jones develops
<a href="http://libvirt.org/ocaml/" shape="rect">OCaml bindings</a>.
</li><li>
<strong>Perl</strong>: Daniel Berrange develops
<a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Sys-Virt/" shape="rect">Perl bindings</a>.
</li><li>
<p>
<strong>PHP</strong>: Radek Hladik started developing
<a href="http://libvirt.org/php" shape="rect">PHP bindings</a> in 2010.
</p>
<p>
In February 2011 the binding development has been moved to the libvirt.org website as
libvirt-php project.
</p>
<p>
The project is now maintained by Michal Novotny and it's heavily based
on Radek's version. For more information, including
information on posting patches to libvirt-php, please refer
to the <a href="http://libvirt.org/php" shape="rect">PHP bindings</a> site.
</p>
</li><li>
<p>
<strong>Python</strong>: Libvirt comes with direct support for
the Python language.
</p>
<p>
If your libvirt is installed as packages, rather than compiled
by you from source code, ensure you have the appropriate
package installed.
</p>
<p>
This is named <b>libvirt-python</b> on RHEL/Fedora,
<a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-libvirt" shape="rect"><b>python-libvirt</b></a>
on Ubuntu, and may be named differently on others.
</p>
<p>
For usage information, see the
<a href="python.html" shape="rect">Python API bindings</a> page.
</p>
</li><li>
<strong>Ruby</strong>: Chris Lalancette develops
<a href="http://libvirt.org/ruby/" shape="rect">Ruby bindings</a>.
</li></ul>
<p>
For information on using libvirt on <strong>Windows</strong>
<a href="windows.html" shape="rect">please see the Windows support page</a>.
</p>
<p>
Support, requests or help for libvirt bindings are welcome on the
<a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list/" shape="rect">mailing list</a>,
as usual try to provide enough background information and make sure
you use recent version, see the <a href="bugs.html" shape="rect">help page</a>.
