Right, I was also trying to figure out this, this is my test code:

lineshp = driver.Open('/home/pcorti/data/shapefile/line.shp')
linelyr = lineshp.GetLayer(0)
feat = linelyr.GetNextFeature()
geom = feat.GetGeometryRef()
print geom.GetGeometryName()
LINESTRING
print geom.GetPointCount()
8

This is also suggested on the doc [0]

best regards
