Did you test your patch with Python 3?  Launch QEMU like this:

  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -qmp unix:/tmp/foo.sock,server

In another terminal you can launch Python and interactively test the
module like I did above.

I still get the following Python 3 exception with your patch:

$ python3

>>> q = qmp.QEMUMonitorProtocol('/tmp/foo.sock')
>>> q.connect()

    if greeting is None or not greeting.has_key('QMP'):
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'has_key'

In Python 3 the dict object lacks the has_key() method.  Please convert
the code to use 'key' in dict instead of dict.has_key('key').
