QEMU Python Tooling
===================
This package provides QEMU tooling used by the QEMU project to build,
configure, and test QEMU. It is not a fully-fledged SDK and it is subject
to change at any time.
Usage
-----
The ``qemu.qmp`` subpackage provides a library for communicating with
QMP servers. The ``qemu.machine`` subpackage offers rudimentary
facilities for launching and managing QEMU processes. Refer to each
package's documentation
(``>>> help(qemu.qmp)``, ``>>> help(qemu.machine)``)
for more information.
