It looks like either this needs to be tagged into the proper repo or a
new version built:

http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=252

Pasi, that version exists here:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.7/xen4/x86_64/Packages/

Can you see if it works with :

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.7/xen4/x86_64/Packages/libvirt-python-1.2.10-2.el6.x86_64.rpm


Thanks,
