I wrote this quickly to aid in testing. It's similar to qmp-shell with a few
important differences:
1) It is not interactive. That makes it useful for scripting.
2) qmp-shell:
(QEMU) set_password protocol=vnc password=foo
3) qmp:
$ qmp set_password --protocol=vnc --password=foo
4) Extensible, git-style interface. If an invalid command name is passed, it
will try to exec qmp-$1.
5) It attempts to pretty print the JSON responses in a shell friendly format
such that tools can work with the output.
Hope others will also find it useful.

BTW, one thing I'd like to try at some point soon is to generate man pages from
qapi-schema.json. If you notice in the script, it does online help by invoking
man.
Yes, I did notice it. I didn't comment on it because I imagined you had plans
about it.
PS: I don't think this needs to go through my tree.
What do you want to do with qmp.py? Do you feel comfortable installing it in
$PYTHONPATH and treating it as a supported API?
