About:
libvirt-python provides Python bindings for the libvirt virtualization API, enabling direct interaction with hypervisors like KVM, Xen, and QEMU. This library allows developers to programmatically manage virtual machines, networks, and storage pools from Python scripts. It serves as a critical bridge for building custom virtualization management tools and automation workflows.
Key Features:
  • Comprehensive bindings for the full libvirt API
  • Support for multiple hypervisors (KVM, QEMU, Xen, etc.)
  • Object-oriented interface for managing VMs and resources
  • Robust event loop integration for asynchronous operations
Use Cases:
  • Automating the provisioning and lifecycle of virtual machines
  • Integrating virtualization management into custom Python applications
  • Building orchestration tools for private cloud infrastructure
Alternatives:
  • libvirt-go – Go language bindings offering similar functionality with Go's concurrency model
  • Docker SDK for Python – Focuses specifically on container management rather than full virtualization
