The old python bindings should be deprecated soon.

You should be using the GI bindings.

In short, it is explained in:

from gi.repository import SpiceClientGLib
dir(SpiceClientGLib) 

[..., 'Session'..]

session = SpiceClientGLib.Session()
session.set_property("host", "hostname")
session.set_property("port", "5900")

GObject.GObject.connect(self.spice_session, "channel-new", channel_cb)
session.connect()

With API reference, some C example code (spicy.c) or virt-manager code, you should be able to find your way.

In general, the GObject GI bindings are documented using the C API reference, since an object oriented API is easy to translate in various languages. Language introspection capabilities can sometime help too.
