Hi Yonggang,

We have only tested this on Linux till now. Are you using QEMU with Windows?
Yeap, I am using QEMU with windows.

The functionality in the python script would eventually move to libvirt. The python
script is a temporary measure.

Does that means without libvirt, the QEMU can not be called directly? 
Thank you very much!
