There is already a light wrapper here - other parts of os-xenapi provide the API to Nova/Neutron/etc which make calls through to the plugins in Dom0.

These projects should now know nothing about the actual plugins or how they are called.

We're not there yet but we also plan to work on migrating RDO to Python 3.
And I have to disagree, this code is called by other projects and their tests,
so it will likely be an impediment in migrating OpenStack to Python 3, not just
a "packaging" issue.

If this code is meant to run on Dom0, fine, then we won't package it,
but we also
have to decouple that dependency from Nova, Neutron, Ceilometer etc... to either
communicate directly through an API endpoint or a light wrapper around it.

Regards,
H.

I would have like to read some opinions about this. Is it a good time for such move? I hope it is, because I'd like to maintain as few Python package with Py2 support at the time of Debian Buster freeze.
