In the case of virsh, you have a chance to add the -c qemu:///system option (which is required when running the command as non-root). So, the question is if this option can be somehow added in python.
I posted this question on the libvirt-users list and here's the fix: Instead of using: conn = libvirt.openReadOnly(None)
I need to use: conn = libvirt.openReadOnly("qemu:///system")
sh-3.2$ python Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep 3 2009, 15:37:37) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import libvirt >>> conn = libvirt.openReadOnly("qemu:///system") >>> domains = conn.listDomainsID() >>> print domains [14, 8, 13] >>>
That wass the only change needed to make this work on the KVM server.
Thank you very much for your help with this, I appreciate it!

You are welcome. Glad to hear you've got all sorted out. I am learning, too.
