The python API works reflectively, so it doesn't actually declare any  
of the api.  I don't think theres any documentation, but if you look  
in tools/python/xen/xm/main.py it should show see how xm sets up its  
xenapi connection.  And theres the language independent XenAPI docs  
in docs/xen-api or on the wiki.
If you want to get started quickly I wrote some java bindings with a  
simple example and javadocs which might help - http://
