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

IMHO "need not" should be "should never". How about the

again?

 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.
