Honestly this does not sound like an issue to me which is caused by 
Python or the build of the guest agent
I would start looking into the logs for the Host.

Please check the logs in /var/log/libvirt/qemu for the corresponding VM 
log  (Win7-01)
Also check your logs if you find any hints in /var/log/vdsm/libvirtd.log
and /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log
