Subject: [PATCH v4 2/5] python/qemu: accel: Add list_accel() method
Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2019 16:14:35 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191216191438.93418-3-wainersm@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191216191438.93418-1-wainersm@redhat.com>

Since commit cbe6d6365a48 the command `qemu -accel help` returns
the list of accelerators enabled in the QEMU binary. This adds
the list_accel() method which return that same list.
