python: drop qemu.qmp from qemu.git tree

[PATCH 05/22] python/mkvenv: bump 'qemu.qmp' dependency for testdeps

Posted by John Snow 2 days, 17 hours ago

First up, use the newest v0.0.5 instead of the older v0.0.3.

Secondly, the use of a period in the key name does not behave as
expected when installing and checking for dependencies, so quote this
string instead.

Question from a still-python-ignorant: Isn't a dot in a python module name a 
bad idea after all? I mean if at one point in time, the "qemu" module comes 
to live and also contains a "qmp" submodule, isn't this calling for trouble?

Maybe it would be a good point in time now to start populating 
https://pypi.org/project/qemu instead?

The "qemu" package that lives in our tree is actually a namespace that
contains several namespaced packages: qmp, machine, utils, etc. It
just so happens that the internal "qemu" package comes along with
"qemu.qmp".

I probably ought to update that placeholder qemu package and have it
at least pull in qemu.qmp as a dependency ...
