Hi all,
I'm using python socket to connect VM's monitor socket like this:

But as we see, there are problems:
1. commands like '>>> sock.send('chardev-add
socket,id=char-vhost_test_intf1,path=/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/vhost_test_intf1,server=on')
106' does not work, this I'm very sure and I use some method to verify it.
2. commands like '>>> sock.recv(1024)' got a lot of unknown characters.
So is there some one who use python(or shell) to connect monitor socket of
VM? Could you please share the code or tell me the way to operate?
For example, should I send command with '(qemu) ' before my command? Should
I recv result by the end of '\r\n' or something?
Thank you~
