Thank you Daniel,
Decided to go with xen+ssh with public key authentication which works fine.
I notice a problem in several methods that returns:
"libvirt: Remote Driver error : unknown procedure: 273"

for example listDefinedDomains works fine:
In [104]: con.listDefinedDomains()
Out[104]: ['fedora22']

but listAllDomains fails:
============================================================================
In [105]: con.listAllDomains()
libvirt: Remote Driver error : unknown procedure: 273
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
libvirtError                              Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-105-a702d3dbcff3> in <module>()
----> 1 con.listAllDomains()

/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.pyc in listAllDomains(self, flags)
4925         ret = libvirtmod.virConnectListAllDomains(self._o, flags)
4926         if ret is None:
-> 4927             raise libvirtError("virConnectListAllDomains()
failed", conn=self)
4928
4929         retlist = list()
============================================================================

Any suggestion why?

Thank you,
 Shahar.
