2023-09-07Python: Drop support for Python 3.7Paolo Bonzini
Debian 10 is not anymore a supported distro, since Debian 12 was released on June 10, 2023. Our supported build platforms as of today all support at least 3.8 (and all of them except for Ubuntu 20.04 support 3.9): openSUSE Leap 15.5: 3.6.15 (3.11.2) CentOS Stream 8: 3.6.8 (3.8.13, 3.9.16, 3.11.4) CentOS Stream 9: 3.9.17 (3.11.4) Fedora 37: 3.11.4 Fedora 38: 3.11.4 Debian 11: 3.9.2 Debian 12: 3.11.2 Alpine 3.14, 3.15: 3.9.16 Alpine 3.16, 3.17: 3.10.10 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: 3.8.10 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: 3.10.12 NetBSD 9.3: 3.9.13* FreeBSD 12.4: 3.9.16 FreeBSD 13.1: 3.9.18 OpenBSD 7.2: 3.9.17 Note: NetBSD does not appear to have a default meta-package, but offers several options, the lowest of which is 3.7.15. However, "python39" appears to be a pre-requisite to one of the other packages we request in tests/vm/netbsd. Since it is safe under our supported platform policy, bump our minimum supported version of Python to 3.8. The two most interesting features to have by default include: - the importlib.metadata module, whose lack is responsible for over 100 lines of code in mkvenv.py - improvements to asyncio, for example asyncio.CancelledError inherits from BaseException rather than Exception In addition, code can now use the assignment operator ':=' Because mypy now learns about importlib.metadata, a small change to mkvenv.py is needed to pass type checking.

2023-05-18Python: Drop support for Python 3.6Paolo Bonzini
Python 3.6 was EOL 2021-12-31. Newer versions of upstream libraries have begun dropping support for this version and it is becoming more cumbersome to support. Avocado-framework and qemu.qmp each have their own reasons for wanting to drop Python 3.6, but won't until QEMU does. Versions of Python available in our supported build platforms as of today, with optional versions available in parentheses: openSUSE Leap 15.4: 3.6.15 (3.9.10, 3.10.2) CentOS Stream 8: 3.6.8 (3.8.13, 3.9.16) CentOS Stream 9: 3.9.13 Fedora 36: 3.10 Fedora 37: 3.11 Debian 11: 3.9.2 Alpine 3.14, 3.15: 3.9.16 Alpine 3.16, 3.17: 3.10.10 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: 3.8.10 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: 3.10.4 NetBSD 9.3: 3.9.13* FreeBSD 12.4: 3.9.16 FreeBSD 13.1: 3.9.16 OpenBSD 7.2: 3.9.16 Note: Our VM tests install 3.9 explicitly for FreeBSD and 3.10 for NetBSD; the default for "python" or "python3" in FreeBSD is 3.9.16. NetBSD does not appear to have a default meta-package, but offers several options, the lowest of which is 3.7.15. "python39" appears to be a pre-requisite to one of the other packages we request in tests/vm/netbsd. pip, ensurepip and other Python essentials are currently only available for Python 3.10 for NetBSD. CentOS and OpenSUSE support parallel installation of multiple Python interpreters, and binaries in /usr/bin will always use Python 3.6. However, the newly introduced support for virtual environments ensures that all build steps that execute QEMU Python code use a single interpreter. Since it is safe to under our supported platform policy, bump our minimum supported version of Python to 3.7. Signed-off-by: John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel P.

2023-05-18python: shut up "pip install" during "make check-minreqs"Paolo Bonzini
"make check-minreqs" runs pip without the --disable-pip-version-check option, which causes the obnoxious "A new release of pip available" message. Recent versions of pip also complain that some of the dependencies in our virtual environment rely on "setup.py install" instead of providing a pyproject.toml file; apparently it is deprecated to install them directly from pip instead of letting the "wheel" package take care of them. So, install "wheel" in the virtual environment.

2023-02-22python: drop pipenvJohn Snow
The pipenv tool was nice in theory, but in practice it's just too hard to update selectively, and it makes using it a pain. The qemu.qmp repo dropped pipenv support a while back and it's been functioning just fine, so I'm backporting that change here to qemu.git.

2022-01-21python: pin setuptools below v60.0.0John Snow
setuptools is a package that replaces the python stdlib 'distutils'. It is generally installed by all venv-creating tools "by default". It isn't actually needed at runtime for the qemu package, so our own setup.cfg does not mention it as a dependency. However, tox will create virtual environments that include it, and will upgrade it to the very latest version. the 'venv' tool will also include whichever version your host system happens to have. Unfortunately, setuptools version 60.0.0 and above include a hack to forcibly overwrite python's built-in distutils. The pylint tool that we use to run code analysis checks on this package relies on distutils and suffers regressions when setuptools >= 60.0.0 is present at all, see https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/5704 Instruct tox and the 'check-dev' targets to avoid setuptools packages that are too new, for now. Pipenv is unaffected, because setuptools 60 does not offer Python 3.6 support, and our pipenv config is pinned against Python 3.6.

2021-09-27python/aqmp: Add Coverage.py supportJohn Snow
I'm not exposing this via the Makefile help, it's not likely to be useful to passersby. Switch the avocado runner to the 'legacy' runner for now, as the new runner seems to obscure coverage reports, again. Usage is to enter your venv of choice and then: `make check-coverage && xdg-open htmlcov/index.html`.

2021-07-13python: Configure tox to skip missing interpretersWainer dos Santos Moschetta
Currently tox tests against the installed interpreters, however if any supported interpreter is absent then it will return fail. It seems not reasonable to expect developers to have all supported interpreters installed on their systems. Luckily tox can be configured to skip missing interpreters. This changed the tox setup so that missing interpreters are skipped by default. On the CI, however, we still want to enforce it tests against all supported. This way on CI the --skip-missing-interpreters=false option is passed to tox.

2021-06-30python: remove auto-generated pyproject.toml fileJohn Snow
For reasons that at-present escape me, pipenv insists on creating a stub pyproject.toml file. This file is a nuisance, because its mere presence changes the behavior of various tools. For instance, this stub file will cause "pip install --user -e ." to fail in spectacular fashion with misleading errors. "pip install -e ." works okay, but for some reason pip does not support editable installs to the user directory when using PEP517. References: https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/9990 https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/7953 As outlined in ea1213b7ccc, it is still too early for us to consider moving to a PEP-517 exclusive package. We must support older distributions, so squash the annoyance for now. (Python 3.6 shipped Dec 2016, PEP517 support showed up in pip sometime in 2019 or so.) Add 'pyproject.toml' to the 'make clean' target, and also delete it after every pipenv invocation issued by the Makefile.

2021-06-30python: add 'make check-dev' invocationJohn Snow
This is a *third* way to run the Python tests. Unlike the first two (check-pipenv, check-tox), this version does not require any specific interpreter version -- making it a lot easier to tell people to run it as a quick smoketest prior to submission to GitLab CI. Summary: Checked via GitLab CI: - check-pipenv: tests our oldest python & dependencies - check-tox: tests newest dependencies on all non-EOL python versions Executed only incidentally: - check-dev: tests newest dependencies on whichever python version ('make check' does not set up any environment at all, it just runs the tests in your current environment. All four invocations perform the exact same tests, just in different execution environments.)

2021-06-30python: rename 'venv-check' target to 'check-pipenv'John Snow
Well, Cleber was right, this is a better name. In preparation for adding a different kind of virtual environment check (One that simply uses whichever version of Python you happen to have), rename this test 'check-pipenv' so that it matches the CI job 'check-python-pipenv'. Remove the "If you don't know which test to run" hint, because it's not actually likely you have Python 3.6 installed to be able to run the test. It's still the test I'd most prefer you to run, but it's not the test you are most likely to be able to run. Rename the 'venv' target to 'pipenv' as well, and move the more pertinent help text under the 'check-pipenv' target.

2021-06-01python: add tox supportJohn Snow
This is intended to be a manually run, non-CI script. Use tox to test the linters against all python versions from 3.6 to 3.10. This will only work if you actually have those versions installed locally, but Fedora makes this easy: > sudo dnf install python3.6 python3.7 python3.8 python3.9 python3.10 Unlike the pipenv tests (make venv-check), this pulls "whichever" versions of the python packages, so they are unpinned and may break as time goes on. In the case that breakages are found, setup.cfg should be amended accordingly to avoid the bad dependant versions, or the code should be amended to work around the issue. With confidence that the tests pass on 3.6 through 3.10 inclusive, add the appropriate classifiers to setup.cfg to indicate which versions we claim to support. Tox 3.18.0 or above is required to use the 'allowlist_externals' option.

2021-06-01python: add Makefile for some common tasksJohn Snow
Add "make venv" to create the pipenv-managed virtual environment that contains our explicitly pinned dependencies. Add "make check" to run the python linters [in the host execution environment]. Add "make venv-check" which combines the above two: create/update the venv, then run the linters in that explicitly managed environment. Add "make develop" which canonizes the runes needed to get both the linting pre-requisites (the "[devel]" part), and the editable live-install (the "-e" part) of these python libraries. make clean: delete miscellaneous python packaging output possibly created by pipenv, pip, or other python packaging utilities make distclean: delete the above, the .venv, and the editable "qemu" package forwarder (qemu.egg-info) if there is one.
