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.

In general, it does; but naturally QEMU does not follow PEP 440. To avoid any automatically-generated conflict, a manual version file is preferred.

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.

python: add VERSION file

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.

python: add qemu package installer

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
