there is a disconnect between the methods that help(libvirt) shows for class virStorageVol and the method listed in 
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py for the same class. method createXML used for virStorageVolCreateXML is missing when i use help(libvirt) and scroll down to the class virStorageVol, however the method is listed in libvirt.py as:

    def createXML(self, xmldesc, flags):
        """Create a storage volume within a pool based
        on an XML description. Not all pools support
        creation of volumes """
        ret = libvirtmod.virStorageVolCreateXML(self._o, xmldesc, flags)
        if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virStorageVolCreateXML() failed', pool=self)
        __tmp = virStorageVol(self, _obj=ret)
        return __tmp

You will find "listStoragePools" in class "virConnect",
and "listVolumes" in class "virStoragePool".
