libguestfs VS CPython

We started off doing this, but you end up with enormous diffs which are themselves confusing. Example, only about 5% of this change is non-generated:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/5186251f8f68...

And inside the registry. The apparently correct way to distinguish them is using the build ID:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/824c74574893...

NDB works great but another option is libguestfs. https://libguestfs.org/

Consider using libguestfs.

There's a lot of useful command-line tooling for KVM and QEMU-based virt. Here's a small selection of useful tools:

• virsh — This[1] is libvirt's shell interface; and gives you access to the rich set of libvirt APIs.

• virt-builder — Use this for rapidly building minimal or customized virtual machines; it's greatly flexible; check out its man page[2]. And here's[3] a quick example that connects both virt-builder and virsh together.

• virt-install — Use this if you don't like the default build of the template images from virt-builder; it lets you create "headless" servers via 'kickstart' and Linux OS trees from the command-line.

• guestfish and libguestfs suite[4] — This rich set of tools help you in a variety of use-cases: repairing your broken disk images, editing, cloning, debugging disk images, and more. It has saved my behind a lot of times.

• qemu-img[5] – This Swiss Army knife lets you powerfully manipulate disk images (QCOW2, raw, et al) offline. Example operations include: create images, backing chains, offline snapshots, disk image merging, and convert disk images from one format to another, and more.

That's a good point. As long as the project has a setup.py or pyproject.toml available, it can usually be installed from the repo. For libguestfs it looks like they do some pre-processing on their setup.py so that wouldn't work, it's lucky that they had this alternative set up already. :)

Nah, this virt-install preseed script is faster, or even just run virt-builder debian-10 and they're both libvirt not hacky qemu scripts

Web Scraping Tool Development: Develop a Python based web scraping tool capable of extracting data from targeted web pages on Yahoo Finance and presenting the data extracted in a readable format. Our target site relies on AJAX to load and update the data dynamically so we will need a tool that is capable of processing JavaScript.

When working in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), create a new Python file for our music player project. It's helpful to have separate files for different parts of your project.

> It provides a meaningful performance improvement for at least one popular platform (realistically, on the order of 5%).

At first it will not provide a large boost, but it will set the foundations for larger gains in subsequent releases. They link a list of some proposed improvements already underway, with improvement estimates, at https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/115802

After that, with the basics of software engineering understood, I would move on to a wider use language, with a bigger ecosystem to employ, most likely Python. This would expose me to large system design / distributed systems and architectural challenges...
