# Things needed to be set up before running this sample:
# - Install Python and verify it works (2.7.2 will do, 3.x is untested yet)
# - On Windows: Install the PyWin32 extensions for your Python version
#   (see http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/)
# - If not already done, set the environment variable "VBOX_INSTALL_PATH"
#   to point to your VirtualBox installation directory (which in turn must have
#   the "sdk" subfolder")
# - Install the VirtualBox Python bindings by doing a
#   "[python] vboxapisetup.py install"
# - Run this sample with "[python] clienttest.py"
