qemu python

QEMU (Quick Emulator) is a popular open-source virtual machine monitor and emulator that allows you to run operating systems and software on different architectures. It provides an API for interacting with virtual machines, and there are Python libraries available to work with QEMU.

To interact with QEMU using Python, you can use the `python-qemu` library. This library provides a high-level API for managing and controlling QEMU virtual machines. You can use it to create, start, stop, pause, and manage virtual machines programmatically.

Here's an example of how you can use the `python-qemu` library to create and start a QEMU virtual machine:

from qemu import QEMU

# Create a QEMU instance
qemu = QEMU()

# Set the path to the disk image
disk_image = "/path/to/disk_image.qcow2"
qemu.set_disk_image(disk_image)

# Set the amount of memory for the virtual machine
memory_size = "2G"
qemu.set_memory(memory_size)

# Start the virtual machine
qemu.start()

This is just a basic example, and you can do much more with the `python-qemu` library. You can configure various settings for the virtual machine, such as CPU architecture, network interfaces, devices, and more. You can also interact with the virtual machine while it's running, send commands, and retrieve information.

You can find more information and examples in the `python-qemu` documentation.
