I have made the port of libxml2 to be python3 compatible for libxml2-1.9.1 back in April http://xmlsoft.org/news.html there have been a few subsequent patches to that port after 1.9.1 but it's mostly okay. Of course the libxml2 patches won't apply 1-1 to libvirt but the main parts should and i tripped on all the breakage left by 2to3 so we should be able to do that without too much crazyness. Someone contributed the equivalent for libxslt which uses the same system, but I hadn't yet the time to review and process them. I was somehow hoping to do those patches for libvirt but my plate is fairly full ATM. I guess the core work based on my libxml2 set of patches should take me 2-3 full days (as in not doing anything else !), since that wasn't looking urgent, I didn't try to arrange to spend that time, yet... libxml2 of course is compatible with python 2, back to 2.4 ...
