I think you can do that as two separate steps.
pip can install from vcs too, i.e. when splitted to a separate repo but
not yet uploaded to pypi you can simply drop something like ...
git+https://gitlab.com/qemu/qemu-python.git@master
... into pip-requirements.txt. That way you can easily test things
before actually uploading to pypi.
Indeed - a limitation here however is that pip will not install from this source unless explicitly asked to, so you couldn't use this package as a requirement for another one, for example -- but it works as a testing step. but that's the rough outline of where I am headed and what I think needs to be done to get there. It's just taking me a while to get everything put in order exactly the right way to be able to flip the switch. Hopefully soon, though.
I realized when re-reading my mails last night that I said I wouldn't be able to do it until "next release" but what I really meant was "until the next development window".
