"""
A PySide2 script to open selected VirtualBox VMs.
It shows a list of VirtualBox VM's and that is filtered on every key press (without pressing enter).
When enter is pressed, we launch or switch to the first matching VirtualBox machine.
Later the filter query is cleared ready for the next interaction.
VirtualBox's own GUI doesn't clear it's search box after using it. 
This annoyed me so I wrote this for my Linux box.
It depends on PySide2, wmctrl, and VBoxManage.

This does that in a more simple and uses PIL to save them too :)
