Splitting the python bindings into their own project makes sense to me.
 We've got enough interest in python on this list that I'm not too
worried about enforcing that new APIs to the main project be accompanied
with patches to libvirt-python.git, and keep up with a release of the
bindings for each upstream release.

I don't think the python bindings should be a submodule of libvirt
proper, but I wouldn't be opposed to a meta-git project that has both
libvirt, libvirt-python, and possibly other libvirt-* binding
subprojects as submodules, so that you could update the metaproject and
pick up all the bindings at once.
