That's because installing libvirt-python doesn't create any directory or
file named exactly libvirt-python.  For an example of what DOES get
installed:

# rpm -ql libvirt-python
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.pyo
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt_lxc.py
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt_lxc.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt_lxc.pyo
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt_qemu.py
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt_qemu.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt_qemu.pyo
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirtmod.so
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirtmod_lxc.so
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirtmod_qemu.so
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/events-python
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/events-python/event-test.py
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/Makefile.am
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/README
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/consolecallback.py
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/dominfo.py
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/domrestore.py
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/domsave.py
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/domstart.py
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/esxlist.py
/usr/share/doc/libvirt-python-1.1.3.1/python/topology.py

Also, you can do:

$ python
>>> import libvirt
>>> help('libvirt')

and if that succeeds, then python found your installed libvirt bindings.
