There are 2 wrongs in here, the first, libvirt module hasn't 'virNode' 
class, it should be 'virNodeDevice';
the second, 'virNodeDevice' class hasn't 'getFreeMemory' method, which 
belongs to 'virConnect' class,
so it should like this:
 >>> import libvirt
 >>> conn = libvirt.open(None)
 >>> conn.getFreeMemory()
228167680L

or

 >>> libvirt.virConnect.getFreeMemory(conn)
227864576L

You may use 'dir' to list all of class/method of libvirt/sub-class:

 >>>dir(libvirt)
 >>>dir(libvirt. virConnect)
