IIUC, the asyncio module you're using is new in python 3.4 ? The libvirt
python code aims to be compatible with python >= 2.6 at this time, so
there's a mis-match there.

So if we did include that in the main libvirt python module, we'd have
to figure out a suitable approach to avoid trying to import the
non-existant module when people do "import libvirt".

Or we could just leave it as a standalone python module and document its
existence on our python binding page (http://libvirt.org/python.html)

Daniel
