Description of problem:
Some new dmstats functionality is being developed in python, rather than directly in C:

  https://github.com/bmr-cymru/dmioscope

This would be easier, and more efficient, using direct python bindings for the libdm-stats interface. Currently for e.g., getting counter or metric values involves fork()ing, exec()ing, the actual ioctls to retrieve the data, and then a bunch of useless string and int munging as the data is passed on stdout.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.02.166

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch python and attempt to import a dmstats module:
$ python
Python 2.7.12 (default, Sep  2 2016, 14:46:00) 
[GCC 6.1.1 20160621 (Red Hat 6.1.1-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import dmstats


Actual results:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named dmstats
>>> import libdmstats
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named libdmstats
>>> 

Expected results:
>>> print dmstats.version
1.02.$SOMETHING
