Hi,
I wanted to know if there is any Python API exposed for libvirt using which
I can attach a libvirt volume to a libvirt domain/VM.
I intend to do something similar to the `attach-disk` command of virsh
using python.

virsh uses the virDomainAttachDeviceFlags API in the 'attach-disk'
command wrapper. the python bindings expose it as 'attachDeviceFlags'
method of the virDomain class.

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed.
Is there some documentation where I can get how to exactly call this
function along with the arguments?

Documentation to various language bindings can be found here:

python has builtin documentation:
import libvirt
help(libvirt)
Disk XML documentation is here:
https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks
the C api documentation is here:
https://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainAttachDevic...
Also for inspiration 'virsh attach-disk' supports the --print-xml
argument.
