The python files in xcb-proto are not an alternative to the C interface
provided in libxcb - they're the mechanism used to generate the C code
for libxcb from the XML protocol descriptions in xcb-proto.  They're only
used to build libxcb, not at runtime by applications/clients.

The python alternative API to libxcb was xpyb, but it's long been abandoned:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/xpyb/
and points to https://github.com/tych0/xcffib as a replacement now.
