Hi Sriram, I was also interested in getting python bindings for libzfs. I mailed Matthew Ahrens (Team ZFS) about this. He said that libzfs is not a committed interface and that it is bound to change. Of course, it is not hard to keep track of the changes in libzfs and accordingly modify the bindings. Also, some of libzfs is already available in the python form (/usr/lib/zfs/pyzfs.py). Team ZFS, would be working on getting more of libzfs API into python, but not anytime soon.
On a related note, I was also thinking of getting python bindings for DTrace. There is a ruby binding for libdtrace out there. We can start a new discussion thread on this, if there is enough interest.
