Are/were you aware of https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyxs which sounds like something similar, judging from its blurb alone? https://launchpad.net/pyxenstore/ might be too, although I don't know if that one is pure python. Anyhow is your intention to have this added to the xen.git tree, perhaps even replacing tools/python/xen/lowlevel/xs/ or just to gather feedback on some code destined for an external project? Personally I don't see a problem with including it in tree, replacing xen.lowlevel.xs might require thinking a little about API compatibility, which might be a pain... Ian.
