I think I have answered your question in previous mail:

You may use 'dir' to list all of class/method of libvirt/sub-class:
>>> import libvirt
>>> con = libvirt.open(None)
>>> dir(con)
>>>dir(libvirt)
>>>dir(libvirt. virConnect)

s/virConnect/virStoragePool/ to list all of methods of a pool,
and s/virConnect/virStorageVol/ to list all of methods of a volume.

If you don't know how to pass a arguments to above methods, please use python's
help() to see it such as help(con.listStoragePools) and help(libvirt.virStoragePool.listVolumes),
'dir' and 'help' are a python built-in method, which hasn't any relationship with libvirt.
so it doesn't matter if you don't familiar with libvirt.
