FYI, I have raised the issue of separating libvirt python into a
separate module for PyPI on the upstream libvirt mailing list. OpenStack
are not the only people asking for this, so I think it is inevitable
that libvirt upstream will start to offer the python binding on PyPI
in the future. eg it is a question of when, not if.
