Radostin Stoyanov 5553cbeb38 Replace ipaddr module with ipaddress
The `ipaddress` is available in Python 3.3+ [1] and backport for
Python 2 is available on PyPI [2].

The main differences between ipaddr and ipaddress are:

- ipaddress *Network classes are equivalent to the ipaddr *Network
  class counterparts with the strict flag set to True.
- ipaddress *Interface classes are equivalent to the ipaddr *Network
  class counterparts with the strict flag set to False.
- The factory functions in ipaddress were renamed to disambiguate them
  from classes.
- A few attributes were renamed to disambiguate their purpose as well.
  (eg. network -> network_address, numhosts -> num_addresses)
- A number of methods and functions which returned containers in ipaddr
  now return iterators. This includes subnets, address_exclude,
  summarize_address_range and collapse_address_list.

Another major difference is that in Python 2 the `ipaddress` module
must use unicode. [3]

Virtual Machine Manager

This application provides a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via the libvirt library.

The front end of the application uses the GTK / Glade libraries for all user interaction components. The back end uses libvirt for managing Qemu/KVM and Xen virtual machines, as well as LXC containers. The UI is primarily tested with KVM, but is intended to be reasonably portable to any virtualization backend libvirt supports.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML
  • virt-convert: Convert VMX or OVF configs to libvirt virtual machines

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file.
