Personally I'd make the naming look much more like the Java bindings.
Instead of following the C naming directly which is fugly for non-C
languages, have a 'libvirt' namespace, and then use plain names
like 'Connect', 'Domain', 'Network' for the objects and strip the
prefix off the method names to 'Connect.open', 'Domain.dump_xml'
etc
