Thanks Daniel,
virt-clone is written in python itself and most of its code is in a
set of library modules, so you can call them directly if neccessary.
Or just write the equivalent code yourself using libvirt python, since
there isn't much too it
I will take a look into the virt-clone python code.
As for your previous suggestion:

I tried this, i.e. assigned a new uuid, name and also created a new disk
image file and assigned the new path to the XML description.
Then tried to create a new VM using the "virDomainCreateXML" method passing
the updated XML Desc.
But I get the following error:
error : POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err
"Error creating domain: Boot loader didn't return any data!")
I searched about this error, and could not find anything I could understand.
Please help me with this.
Thanks and Regards

I will definately try this out. As for changing the UUID, I think the new
value has to be unique in terms of all other Domains present. I am
right??

As for using 'virt-clone', is there a way to implement this using python
bindings for libvirt??
I want to provide the functionality in a python script.
I thought of doing this by directly executing the command line
'virt-clone'
command from my python script and check wheather it executes successfully
or not. We can do this by the 'os.system' function in python.
