Hmmm... my suggestion probably won't work.
The function doesn't seem to be usable.

>>> svn.wc.svn_wc_parse_externals_description3("/tmp", "^/branch/gamma foo", 0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libsvn/wc.py", line 398, in svn_w
c_parse_externals_description3
    return apply(_wc.svn_wc_parse_externals_description3, args)
ValueError: svn_wc_parse_externals_description3 is not implemented yet

But the 1.4 version of this function is working:

>>> e = svn.wc.svn_wc_parse_externals_description("/tmp", "^/branch/gamma foo")
>>> e
{'foo': <libsvn.wc.svn_wc_external_item_t; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'svn_wc
_external_item_t *' at 0x2083e50c0> >}
>>> e['foo']
<libsvn.wc.svn_wc_external_item_t; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'svn_wc_externa
l_item_t *' at 0x2083e50c0> >
>>> e['foo'].target_dir
'foo'
>>> e['foo'].url
'^/branch/gamma'
>>> e['foo'].revision
<libsvn.core.svn_opt_revision_t; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'svn_opt_revision_t *' at 0x2043d90d0> >

But that doesn't provide you with the enhancements of the 1.5 syntax,
e.g. peg-revision support.

I am not a bindings expert so I don't know what we'd need to do to make
the newer variants of this function work from the bindings.
