I wanted to do a similar thing, in fact we wrote them in python at a
time where avahi-client didn't exist, and it was quicker and easier to
use python at this moment.

But i think that if we can do C version that have functionnality as
the python version, we could move the python version in the examples
directory and use them as the base of a tutorial about using avahi
from python.

on a side note, i think it would be really usefull to have a package
of this strip down version of avahi (--disable-python --disable-dbus
--disable-pygtk) for servers that only want the avahi responder using
xml.services, a but like we have emacs21-nox package.
