Any checking? I.e could testcase r/w it too?

IMHO "need not" should be "should never". How about the
follow up use of connection if it's already closed, reopen one
again?

The comment above should resides here.

 From my p.o.v, "libvirtobj" is a confused name, also "data" is
not enough to tell what the meaning is. How about use
"framework_shares" and "case_shares" instead?

And implement get/set/has functions for both "framework_shares"
and "case_shares", but not access them directly. e.g.

def case_shares_get(key):
     pass

def case_shares_set(key, value):
     pass

def case_shares_has(key)
     pass

Even perhaps a class is good.

That's getting closer and closer to what I recommended as a redesign for
the whole test-API. Class would be better, tests shouldn't need to
import the mod every time, there should be checking etc. However I feel
the need to make this stable asap and after some release, we can go
ahead with some major redesigns (or at least that's how I understood our
talk about this with Dave few weeks ago).

     Sorry, I missed the mail thread.
     No problem for me to use the class or something in framework.
Use the Class in testcases is not a good idea, it make writing testcase complex
     than the use of function directly.
But, anyway, the common purpose is to ease the work of writing testcases.
