If you use brackets you can break the line without confusing
python eg
if (name.startswith('VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_') or
name.startswith('VIR_NETWORK_EVENT_ID_')):

I'm not seeing the point of adding this define ?

Without that define, you can't check for the events using ifdef,
C preprocessor doesn't see enum items.
