Now that 'pyzfs' is part of the ZFS codebase, it should be versioned the same as the rest of the source tree. This eliminates confusion on what version of the bindings are being used, especially for dependent Python projects that may use the Python dist metadata to identify compatible versions of pyzfs to work from. In addition, a trivial change to drop the unused requirements.txt file is included, simply because it's unused and a leftover from before it was imported into the ZFS codebase and wired into the autotools build scripts.

This package provides a wrapper for libzfs_core C library. libzfs_core is intended to be a stable interface for programmatic administration of ZFS. This wrapper provides one-to-one wrappers for libzfs_core API functions, but the signatures and types are more natural to Python. nvlists are wrapped as dictionaries or lists depending on their usage. Some parameters have default values depending on typical use for increased convenience. Enumerations and bit flags become strings and lists of strings in Python. Errors are reported as exceptions rather than integer errno-style error codes. The wrapper takes care to provide one-to-many mapping of the error codes to the exceptions by interpreting a context in which the error code is produced. Unit tests and automated test for the libzfs_core API are provided with this package. Please note that the API tests perform lots of ZFS dataset level operations and ZFS tries hard to ensure that any modifications do reach stable storage. That means that the operations are done synchronously and that, for example, disk caches are flushed. Thus, the tests can be very slow on real hardware. It is recommended to place the default temporary directory or a temporary directory specified by, for instance, TMP environment variable on a memory backed filesystem.
