In the python-qemu-qmp repo John has a patch that drops avocado. That can be pulled over into QEMU, but it is likely John will propose removing the python/ directory from QEMU instead and using a wheel. Either way, this patch series doesn't need to touch python/ dir, as work on that is in-progress separately.
