The script heavily relies on the urlgrabber python module, which doesn't seem to be packaged by all distros; it's missing from newer Debian versions at least. Also the usage of the commands module has been deprecated since Python 2.6, and removed in Python 3, so the code would need to be re-written to not rely on urlgrabber and the commands modules. Arguably the purpose of the xenpvnetboot bootloader can also be achieved with an isolated script that fetches the kernel and ramdisk before attempting to launch the domain, without having to run in libxl context. There are no xl.cfg options consumed by the bootloader apart from the base location and the subpaths of the kernel and ramdisk to fetch. Any interested parties in keeping such functionality are free to submit an updated script that works with Python 3.
