Looks reasonable to me.

Thanks! I'm hoping to make it easier to spin up more dev tooling outside of the qemu tree. If you've got any wishlist items, feel free to let me know.
It's still early days for Python packages outside of the qemu tree, so nearly everything is on the table still.
(the jsnow/python staging branch has some 17 patches in it that will be checked in to QEMU when development re-opens. The forked qemu.qmp repo will be based off of qemu.git after those patches go in. There's a bit of shakeup where I delete the old qmp lib and replace it with what's currently aqmp. It should hopefully not be a huge nuisance to your work, but if there's issues, let me know.)
Thanks,
