John Snow d1e0476958 python: add pylint import exceptions
Pylint 2.5.x - 2.7.x have regressions that make import checking
inconsistent, see:

https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/3609
https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/3624
https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/3651

Pinning to 2.4.4 is worse, because it mandates versions of shared
dependencies that are too old for features we want in isort and mypy.
Oh well.

QEMU Python Tooling
===================

This directory houses Python tooling used by the QEMU project to build,
configure, and test QEMU. It is organized by namespace (``qemu``), and
then by package (e.g. ``qemu/machine``, ``qemu/qmp``, etc).

``setup.py`` is used by ``pip`` to install this tooling to the current
environment. ``setup.cfg`` provides the packaging configuration used by
``setup.py`` in a setuptools specific format. You will generally invoke
it by doing one of the following:

1. ``pip3 install .`` will install these packages to your current
   environment. If you are inside a virtual environment, they will
   install there. If you are not, it will attempt to install to the
   global environment, which is **not recommended**.

2. ``pip3 install --user .`` will install these packages to your user's
   local python packages. If you are inside of a virtual environment,
   this will fail; you likely want the first invocation above.

If you append the ``-e`` argument, pip will install in "editable" mode;
which installs a version of the package that installs a forwarder
pointing to these files, such that the package always reflects the
latest version in your git tree.

See `Installing packages using pip and virtual environments
<https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/>`_
for more information.
