Pino Toscano b6a7157751 python: modernize inspect_vm example
Since we already assume Python >= 2.7, modernize this example to make it
work also on Python 3:
- use print() as function
- sort the mount points using a key for sorted(), instead of a
  comparison function
- remove extra newline escape
- reident two lines according to the PEP 8 style
