Arpita,
I have used the python bindings extensively, but AFAIK there is no
documentation specifically for python. The python bindings closely
follow the C API, which is documented here:
http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html
The function names in python will closely mirror the names listed in
that document. For instance, when you are calling 'dom0.info()' you
are really calling 'virDomainGetInfo' -- you leave out the domain
pointer because you are calling the function on a domain object, and
you leave out the info pointer because in python you can just get
that back as a return value.
The list you're getting from 'info()' is just this structure here:
http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virDomainInfo
If you get stuck, I recommend getting a connection or domain object
inside a python interpreter and calling dir() or help() on that
object. This can reveal other things to play with.

>> help(d)

HI,
I am using ubuntu host machine and KVM is present as guest in that
machine.Two virtual machines are there.I am using Python binding to query on
the hypervisor and extract the VM related information.
Here is my simple code:
#!/*usr*/local/bin/*python
*
import libvirt
import sys
conn = libvirt.openReadOnly(None)
if conn == None:
print *'Failed to open connection to the hypervisor'
*
sys.exit(1)
try:
domIds = conn.listDomainsID()
for id in domIds:
dom0 = conn.lookupByID(id)
dom0.info()
print *"Domain 0: id %d running %s"* % (dom0.ID(), dom0.OSType())
print dom0.info()
except:
print *'Failed to find the main domain'
*
sys.exit()
The output is :
Domain 0: id 2 running hvm
[1, 131072L, 131072L, 1, 14921710000000L]
Domain 0: id 3 running hvm
[1, 131072L, 131072L, 1, 30880000000L]
Here I am not able to understand these values are represent what type of
information, which value is representing what resource of host machine.Could
you please help me to understand how I could find out CPU,VM ,memory related
information seperately through python binding?.
I didn't find Python binding Reference in the Libvirt site.Could you help me
by providing the Reference link for Python binding?
Thanks in Advance!!
Arpita
