IIUC, John Snow plans to drop the 'python' directory during this
release cycle, so I think we can ignore that for now. I've also
suggested that python-qemu-qmp would be better off switching to
use pytest instead of avocado, as the latter is what python devs
are commonly familiar with and is sufficient for our needs.
