[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#709516: hivex: Python 3 support not fully implemented in hivex

Actually, the python-hivex package provides them:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/hivex.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libhivexmod.so

$ python3.3
Python 3.3.2 (default, May 18 2013, 17:07:09) 
[GCC 4.7.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import hivex
>>> hivex
<module 'hivex' from '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/hivex.py'>
>>>

Ignoring for a moment the issue that this module does not work with
python 3.2, is there a problem with providing Python 2.x bindings and
Python 3.x bindings in the same package?

Cheers,
