Yes. The only possible problem is that the Python modules may not end
up in the right place to get found by your Python installation. In
which case you may need to set the PYTHONPATH environment variable, or
manually work out teh correct place to put the modules (it'll be
somthing like /usr/lib/python-2.2/site-packages).

It doesn't matter -- it's not /really/ SCSI. It's just the name the
teh virtual device appears as in the other guest. What you do need to
change is: 
 vbd_list = [ ('phy:sda%d'%(7+vnid),'sda1','w'), ('phy:sda6','sda6','r') ]
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                    ^^^^

The former binds the name 'sda1' in the guest to real physical device
sda(7+vmid), and 'sda6' to realy physical device sda6. These need to
be changed to appropriate partitions on hda.
