Well, Cleber was right, this is a better name.
In preparation for adding a different kind of virtual environment check
(One that simply uses whichever version of Python you happen to have),
rename this test 'check-pipenv' so that it matches the CI job
'check-python-pipenv'.
Remove the "If you don't know which test to run" hint, because it's not
actually likely you have Python 3.6 installed to be able to run the
test. It's still the test I'd most prefer you to run, but it's not the
test you are most likely to be able to run.
Rename the 'venv' target to 'pipenv' as well, and move the more
pertinent help text under the 'check-pipenv' target.

tox is already testing the most recent versions. Let's use pipenv to
test the oldest versions we claim to support. This matches the stylistic
choice to have pipenv always test our oldest supported Python version, 3.6.
The effect of this is that the python-check-pipenv CI job on gitlab will
now test against much older versions of these linters, which will help
highlight incompatible changes that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Update instructions for adding and bumping versions in setup.cfg. The
reason for deleting the line that gets added to Pipfile is largely just
to avoid having the version minimums specified in multiple places in
config checked into the tree.
(This patch was written by deleting Pipfile and Pipfile.lock, then
explicitly installing each dependency manually at a specific
version. Then, I restored the prior Pipfile and re-ran `pipenv lock
--dev --keep-outdated` to re-add the qemu dependency back to the pipenv
environment while keeping the "old" packages. It's annoying, yes, but I
think the improvement to test coverage is worthwhile.)

Add an optional 'fusepy' dependency that users of the package can opt
into with e.g. "pip install qemu[fuse]" which installs the requirements
necessary to obtain the additional functionality.
Add the same fusepy dependency to the 'devel' extras group --
unfortunately I do not see a way for optional groups to imply other
optional groups at present, so the dependency is repeated. The
development group needs to include the full set of dependencies for the
purpose of static analysis of all features offered by this library.
Lastly, add the [fuse] extras group to tox's configuration as a
workaround so that if a stale tox environment is found when running
`make check-tox`, tox will know to rebuild its environments.

Because fusepy does not have type hints, add some targeted warning

Namely, we need to allow subclassing something of an unknown type (in
qom_fuse.py), and we need to allow missing imports (recorded against
fuse itself) because mypy will be unable to import fusepy (even when
installed) as it has no types nor type stubs available.
Note: Until now, it was possible to run invocations like 'mypy qemu/'
from ./python and have that work. However, these targeted suppressions
require that you run 'mypy -p qemu/' instead. The correct, canonical
invocation is recorded in ./python/tests/mypy.sh and all of the various
CI invocations always use this correct form.

In a previous commit, I added tox to the development requirements of the
Python library. I never bothered to add them to the Pipfile, because
they aren't needed there. Here, I sync it anyway in its own commit so
that when we add new packages later that the diffstats will not
confusingly appear to pull in lots of extra packages.
Ideally I could tell Pipenv simply not to install these, but it doesn't
seem to support that, exactly. The alternative is removing Tox from the
development requires, which I'd rather not do.
The other alternative is re-specifying all of the dependencies of
setup.cfg in the Pipfile, which I'd also rather not do.

This is intended to be a manually run, non-CI script.
Use tox to test the linters against all python versions from 3.6 to
3.10. This will only work if you actually have those versions installed
locally, but Fedora makes this easy:
> sudo dnf install python3.6 python3.7 python3.8 python3.9 python3.10
Unlike the pipenv tests (make venv-check), this pulls "whichever"
versions of the python packages, so they are unpinned and may break as
time goes on. In the case that breakages are found, setup.cfg should be
amended accordingly to avoid the bad dependant versions, or the code
should be amended to work around the issue.
With confidence that the tests pass on 3.6 through 3.10 inclusive, add
the appropriate classifiers to setup.cfg to indicate which versions we
claim to support.
Tox 3.18.0 or above is required to use the 'allowlist_externals' option.

they're only invoking shell scripts and not really running any
python-native code.
Create tests/, and add shell scripts which call out to mypy, flake8,
pylint and isort to enforce the standards in this directory.
Add avocado-framework to the setup.cfg development dependencies, and add
avocado.cfg to store some preferences for how we'd like the test output
to look.
Finally, add avocado-framework to the Pipfile environment and lock the
new dependencies. We are using avocado >= 87.0 here to take advantage of
some features that Cleber has helpfully added to make the test output
here *very* friendly and easy to read for developers that might chance
upon the output in Gitlab CI.
[Note: ALL of the dependencies get updated to the most modern versions
that exist at the time of this writing. No way around it that I have
seen. Not ideal, but so it goes.]
Provided you have the right development dependencies (mypy, flake8,
isort, pylint, and now avocado-framework) You should be able to run
"avocado --config avocado.cfg run tests/" from the python folder to run
all of these linters with the correct arguments.

setuptools doesn't have a formal understanding of development requires,
but it has an optional feataures section. Fine; add a "devel" feature
and add the requirements to it.
To avoid duplication, we can modify pipenv to install qemu[devel]
instead. This enables us to run invocations like "pip install -e
.[devel]" and test the package on bleeding-edge packages beyond those
specified in Pipfile.lock.
Importantly, this also allows us to install the qemu development
packages in a non-networked mode: `pip3 install --no-index -e .[devel]`
will now fail if the proper development dependencies are not already
met. This can be useful for automated build scripts where fetching

0.770, however, supports adding 'strict' to the config file, so require

Now that we are checking a namespace package, we need to tell mypy to

mypy can now be run from the python root by typing 'mypy -p qemu'.
A note on mypy invocation: Running it as "mypy qemu/" changes the import

pipenv is a tool used for managing virtual environments with pinned,
explicit dependencies. It is used for precisely recreating python
virtual environments.
pipenv uses two files to do this:
(1) Pipfile, which is similar in purpose and scope to what setup.cfg
lists. It specifies the requisite minimum to get a functional
environment for using this package.
(2) Pipfile.lock, which is similar in purpose to `pip freeze >
requirements.txt`. It specifies a canonical virtual environment used for
deployment or testing. This ensures that all users have repeatable
results.
The primary benefit of using this tool is to ensure *rock solid*
repeatable CI results with a known set of packages. Although I endeavor
to support as many versions as I can, the fluid nature of the Python
toolchain often means tailoring code for fairly specific versions.
Note that pipenv is *not* required to install or use this module; this is
purely for the sake of repeatable testing by CI or developers.
Here, a "blank" pipfile is added with no dependencies, but specifies
Python 3.6 for the virtual environment.
Pipfile will specify our version minimums, while Pipfile.lock specifies
an exact loadout of packages that were known to operate correctly. This
latter file provides the real value for easy setup of container images
and CI environments.

When creating a source or binary distribution via 'python3 setup.py
<sdist|bdist>', the VERSION and PACKAGE.rst files aren't bundled by
default. Create a MANIFEST.in file that instructs the build tools to
include these so that installation from these files won't fail.
This is required by 'tox', as well as by the tooling needed to upload
packages to PyPI.
Exclude the 'README.rst' file -- that's intended as a guidebook to our
source tree, not a file that needs to be distributed.

Add short readmes to python/, python/qemu/, python/qemu/machine,
python/qemu/qmp, and python/qemu/utils that explain the directory
hierarchy. These readmes are visible when browsing the source on
e.g. gitlab/github and are designed to help new developers/users quickly
make sense of the source tree.
They are not designed for inclusion in a published manual.

Python infrastructure as it exists today is not capable reliably of
single-sourcing a package version from a parent directory. The authors
of pip are working to correct this, but as of today this is not possible.
The problem is that when using pip to build and install a python
package, it copies files over to a temporary directory and performs its
build there. This loses access to any information in the parent
directory, including git itself.
Further, Python versions have a standard (PEP 440) that may or may not
follow QEMU's versioning. In general, it does; but naturally QEMU does
not follow PEP 440. To avoid any automatically-generated conflict, a
manual version file is preferred.
I am proposing:
- Python tooling follows the QEMU version, indirectly, but with a major
version of 0 to indicate that the API is not expected to be
stable. This would mean version 0.5.2.0, 0.5.1.1, 0.5.3.0, etc.
- In the event that a Python package needs to be updated independently
of the QEMU version, a pre-release alpha version should be preferred,
but *only* after inclusion to the qemu development or stable branches.
e.g. 0.5.2.0a1, 0.5.2.0a2, and so on should be preferred prior to
5.2.0's release.
- The Python core tooling makes absolutely no version compatibility
checks or constraints. It *may* work with releases of QEMU from the
past or future, but it is not required to.
i.e., "qemu.machine" will, for now, remain in lock-step with QEMU.
- We reserve the right to split the qemu package into independently
versioned subpackages at a later date. This might allow for us to
begin versioning QMP independently from QEMU at a later date, if
we so choose.
Implement this versioning scheme by adding a VERSION file and setting it
to 0.6.0.0a1.

Add setup.cfg and setup.py, necessary for installing a package via
pip. Add a ReST document (PACKAGE.rst) explaining the basics of what
this package is for and who to contact for more information. This
document will be used as the landing page for the package on PyPI.
List the subpackages we intend to package by name instead of using
find_namespace because find_namespace will naively also packages tests,
things it finds in the dist/ folder, etc. I could not figure out how to
modify this behavior; adding allow/deny lists to setuptools kept
changing the packaged hierarchy. This works, roll with it.
I am not yet using a pyproject.toml style package manifest, because
"editable" installs are not defined (yet?) by PEP-517/518.
I consider editable installs crucial for development, though they have
(apparently) always been somewhat poorly defined.
Pip now (19.2 and later) now supports editable installs for projects
using pyproject.toml manifests, but might require the use of the
--no-use-pep517 flag, which somewhat defeats the point. Full support for
setup.py-less editable installs was not introduced until pip 21.1.1:
7a95720e79
For now, while the dust settles, stick with the de-facto
setup.py/setup.cfg combination supported by setuptools. It will be worth
re-evaluating this point again in the future when our supported build
platforms all ship a fairly modern pip.

move python/qemu/*.py to python/qemu/[machine, qmp, utils]/*.py and
update import directives across the tree.
This is done to create a PEP420 namespace package, in which we may
create subpackages. To do this, the namespace directory ("qemu") should
not have any modules in it. Those files will go into new 'machine',
'qmp' and 'utils' subpackages instead.
Implement machine/__init__.py making the top-level classes and functions
from its various modules available directly inside the package. Change
qmp.py to qmp/__init__.py similarly, such that all of the useful QMP
library classes are available directly from "qemu.qmp" instead of
"qemu.qmp.qmp".
