Ok, thanks, that might work.

I will have to think on how best to parse the log file for any error
messages that are only applicable to the actual LXC Python API call the
application is executing and pass these error messages back to the user
and present them in a meaningful manner.

Title:
  Python LXC api needs to be much better at error reporting

Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I use the Python API extensively on the lp:libertine project.
  However, when there is an error somewhere in the LXC layer, the only
  thing that is returned is False which is not very useful when trying
  to figure out what has gone wrong.

  For example, I try to use the Container.create() method and it is
  failing  However, when I try using the lxc-create CLI tool using the
  same exact parameters, it works.  Since the Python API does not have
  an error output, I'm having a very difficult time figuring out why the
  Python create is failing.
