Done in r1292223:

    % PYTHONPATH=$prefix/svn-t1/lib/svn-python/ python -c \
        'import svn,svn.wc; print svn.wc.svn_wc_parse_externals_description3("","",1)'
    []
    %

It will be available in 1.8.0.

(perhaps we should relax our compat guidelines to allow adding exposed
APIs to the bindings in patch releases?)
