  Description     : Python bindings for interacting with Vagrant virtual
machines

 Python-vagrant is a python module that provides a _thin_ wrapper
 around the `vagrant` command line executable, allowing programmatic
 control of Vagrant virtual machines (boxes).  This project began
 because I wanted python bindings for Vagrant so I could
 programmatically access my vagrant box using Fabric. This module is
 useful for:
 .
  - Starting a Vagrant virtual machine (VM) (`up`)
  - Terminating a Vagrant VM (`destroy`)
  - Halting a Vagrant VM without destroying it (`halt`)
  - Querying the status of a VM or VMs (`status`)
  - Getting ssh configuration information useful for SSHing into the
    VM (`host`, `port`, ...)
  - Running `vagrant` commands in a multi-VM environment
    (http://vagrantup.com/v1/docs/multivm.html) by using `vm_name`
    parameter
  - Initializing the VM based on a named base box, using init().
  - Adding, Removing, and Listing boxes (`box add`, `box remove`,
    `box list`)
  - Provisioning VMs - up() accepts options like `no_provision`,
    `provision`, and `provision_with`, and there is a `provision()`
    method
  - Using sandbox mode from the Sahara gem:

 .
 This package is _beta_ and its API is not guaranteed to be
 stable. The API attempts to be congruent with the `vagrant` API
 terminology, to facilitate knowledge transfer for users already
 familiar with Vagrant. Over time, the python-vagrant API has changed
 to better match the underling `vagrant` CLI and to evolve with the
 changes in that CLI.
 .
 The package version numbering is in the form `0.X.Y`. The initial `0`
 reflects the _beta_ nature of this project. The number `X` is
 incremented when backwards-incompatible changes occur. The number `Y`
 is incremented when backwards-compatible features or bug fixes are
 added.
