The current flake8 check only looks at one item (semicolons at end of line). This means that our code quality will continue to get worse, violating an increasing number of checks. Switching to a whitelist means that we freeze the badness at its current level & can incrementally fix things up. We are excluding the following... Indentation: E114 indentation is not a multiple of four (comment) E115 expected an indented block (comment) E116 unexpected indentation (comment) E121 continuation line under-indented for hanging indent E125 continuation line with same indent as next logical line E126 continuation line over-indented for hanging indent E127 continuation line over-indented for visual indent E128 continuation line under-indented for visual indent E129 visually indented line with same indent as next logical line E131 continuation line unaligned for hanging indent Whitespace: E211 whitespace before ‘(‘ E221 multiple spaces before operator E222 multiple spaces after operator E225 missing whitespace around operator E226 missing whitespace around arithmetic operator E231 missing whitespace after ‘,’, ‘;’, or ‘:’ E261 at least two spaces before inline comment Blank lines E301 expected 1 blank line, found 0 E302 expected 2 blank lines, found 0 E303 too many blank lines (3) E305 expected 2 blank lines after end of function or class Line length E501 line too long (82 > 79 characters) Statements E722 do not use bare except, specify exception instead E741 do not use variables named ‘l’, ‘O’, or ‘I’ Errors: F821 undefined name 'name' Warnings: W504 line break after binary operator W605 invalid escape sequence ‘x’ Later commits will enable most of these exclusions.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.0 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER
and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands, however, we mandate to have the build directory different than the source directory. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
Contributing
The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
https://libvirt.org/contribute.html
Contact
The libvirt project has two primary mailing lists:
- libvirt-users@redhat.com (for user discussions)
- libvir-list@redhat.com (for development only)
