You have to install libxenstat.so to use the python bindings.  
libxenstat is not a supported interface for 3.0.  It's in the tree for 
xentop.  It may play a larger role in future versions but for right now 
it's function is pretty limited.

You may have better luck using the xc python bindings that are installed 
with Xend.  You can get the same information as you can get in 
libxenstat just through a different interface.

In xen.lowlevel.xc, you want to use domain_get_info() and 
domain_get_vcpu_info().
