Hello,

For a variety of reasons I am interested in a D-Bus interface for libvirt.

Primarily for use with http://cockpit-project.org/ for which it would be very easy to write a web interface for libvirt, given a D-Bus interface for libvirt, but writing using the raw libvirt RPC protocol would require writing a new Javascript library for parsing/encoding that protocol. But there are other nice features of a D-Bus interface for libvirt, too.

I don't know of any bindings that try to implement the libvirt RPC protocol to talk directly to libvirtd, instead they wrap the C API and let the libvirt C library handle all that.

Does a D-Bus interface for libvirt exist?

No unfortunately, and I don't recall hearing of anyone working on one. - Cole
