Can we predict how the python scripts will evolve? Only fast-testing?
I guess it depends on how you define "fast". Does "fast-testing"
include a full device-crash-test run (that could take ~30
minutes) or the full set of iotests?
Is there some users hacking on qemu.py unaware they can/should use
libvirt-python?
I believe the existing users of qemu.py wouldn't want to have
dependencies on libvirt or other external modules (e.g. code that
test specific QMP commands and/or is run by "make check").
Yes, most QEMU tests interact with QEMU at a lower level than the
libvirt API. They may exercise new features that are not available via
libvirt so we'd end up bypassing it anyway.
