Hi Peter: In the past, you expressed hesitation over adding another
VERSION file to ./python/, preferring we single-source it somehow.
For now, I believe I will be pursuing a version of 0.6.0.0a1 to indicate
the subpackage is in a beta state, but otherwise tied/related to the
QEMU 6.0 release. I plan to change this to '0.6.0' during the release
candidate phase.
(It also leaves open the door to begin independent versioning schemes
later if we want to fork useful parts of the library out.)
Due to the way python packaging works, there is currently no way to
refer to files *above* the python package root because files are copied
out to a temporary, isolated environment. I do not believe there is any
way for me to avoid creating a second file.
I wanted to check and make sure this wasn't going to be a no-go.
