The 'virsh vncdisplay' command is simply fetching the XML doc for the
guest and then extracting the VNC port using a xpath expression
/domain/devices/graphics[@type='vnc']/@port
So for python you'd want to just get an XML handling module and do similar.
Yes, I saw that in the virsh code.
Shouldn't this be part of the libvirt api proper??
Isn't it supposed to shield us from dealing with files and XML?
