Anyway, I'm not opposed to it.

I have to admit there's much about Python packaging that is confusing :)


Oh, the comment was not so related to packaging, but to QEMU itself.

Can you elaborate on your point for me, though?

Under the `tests` folder, `make check-venv` creates the Python venv
for the tests. It does not run the tests. The `make check-venv` under
the `pyhton` folder proposed here will actually run the tests in the
venv. My comment was related to people already used to the behavior of
`make` under the `tests` folder.

I don't think it is this patch fault and I think this makes more sense
than what we currently have under the `tests` folder. Maybe it is just
a matter of organizing the `tests` folder `make` command.


OH, I see what you're saying. It's the ambiguity between:

1. make [the] 'check' venv
2. make check, [with the] venv

I chose one semantic and tests/ chose another. Valid concern.

I suppose if someone does get it mixed up it won't hurt too much though, they'll certainly notice pretty quickly that 'check-venv' runs tests.

Cleber, my #1 co-maintainer, do you have any preferences here?
