Description: Libvirt Python Binding README
        =============================
        
        This package provides a module that permits applications
        written in the Python 3.x programming language to call the interface
        supplied by the libvirt library, to manage the virtualization
        capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes).
        As such, the module exposes Python bindings to to the libvirt.so,
        libvirt-qemu.so and libvirt-lxc.so library APIs.
        
        It is written to build against any version of libvirt that
        is 0.9.11 or newer.
        
        This code is distributed under the terms of the LGPL version
        2 or later.
        
        Requirements
        ------------
        
        To build the libvirt python binary requires the GCC and pkg-config
        tools, and development headers for the libvirt and python libraries.
        
        Building and installing
        -----------------------
        
        The module can be built by following the normal python module
        build process
        
          $ python3 -m build
        
        for testing and distributing purposes or it can be installed directly via pip
        as
        
          $ python3 -m pip install .
        
        without explicit building.
        
        In order to test the package, you'll need either tox or at least pytest,
        depending on whether you want to test an already installed package in which
        case the latter is sufficient or if you wish to test in a virtual
        environment you'd need tox. Depending on your preferred setup, you can run the
        tests either as
        
          $ python3 -m pytest
        
        or as
        
          $ tox
        
        A makefile shim is also provided for your convenience, so that you don't have
        to care about the exact operations mentioned above and instead you simply do
        
          $ make && make check
        
        As of libvirt 1.2.6, it is possible to develop against an uninstalled
        libvirt.git checkout, by setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        environment variables to point into that libvirt tree; you can even
        automate this by using libvirt's run script:
        
          /path/to/libvirt/run python3 -m build
        
        Patches for this code should be submitted as merge requests to the
        project page on gitlab. See CONTRIBUTING.rst for more information.
