2021-09-27python: add optional pygments dependencyG S Niteesh Babu1-0/+5
Added pygments as optional dependency for AQMP TUI. This is required for the upcoming syntax highlighting feature in AQMP TUI. The dependency has also been added in the devel optional group. Added mypy 'ignore_missing_imports' for pygments since it does not have any type stubs.

2021-09-16python: Update for pylint 2.10John Snow1-0/+1
A few new annoyances. Of note is the new warning for an unspecified encoding when opening a text file, which actually does indicate a potentially real problem; see https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0597/#motivation Use LC_CTYPE to determine an encoding to use for interpreting QEMU's terminal output. Note that Python states: "language code and encoding may be None if their values cannot be determined" -- use a platform default as a backup. Notes: Passing encoding=None will generate a suppressed warning on Python 3.10+ that 'None' should not be passed as the encoding argument. This behavior may be deprecated in the future and the default switched to be a ubiquitous UTF-8. Opting in to the locale default will be done by passing the encoding 'locale', but that isn't available in 3.6 through 3.9. Presumably this warning will be unsuppressed some time prior to the actual switch and we can re-investigate these issues at that time if necessary.

2021-09-01python: Reduce strictness of pylint's duplicate-code checkJohn Snow1-0/+5
Pylint prior to 2.8.3 (We pin at >= 2.8.0) includes function and method signatures as part of its duplicate checking algorithm. This check does not listen to pragmas, so the only way to disable it is to turn it off completely or increase the minimum duplicate lines so that it doesn't trigger for functions with long, multi-line signatures. When we decide to upgrade to pylint 2.8.3 or greater, we will be able to use 'ignore-signatures = true' to the config instead. I'd prefer not to keep us on the very bleeding edge of pylint if I can help it -- 2.8.3 came out only three days ago at time of writing.

2021-07-13python: Configure tox to skip missing interpretersWainer dos Santos Moschetta1-0/+1
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: Re-lock pipenv at *oldest* supported versionsJohn Snow1-1/+3
tox is already testing the most recent versions. Let's use pipenv to test the oldest versions we claim to support. This matches the stylistic choice to have pipenv always test our oldest supported Python version, 3.6. The effect of this is that the python-check-pipenv CI job on gitlab will now test against much older versions of these linters, which will help highlight incompatible changes that might otherwise go unnoticed. Update instructions for adding and bumping versions in setup.cfg. The reason for deleting the line that gets added to Pipfile is largely just to avoid having the version minimums specified in multiple places in config checked into the tree. (This patch was written by deleting Pipfile and Pipfile.lock, then explicitly installing each dependency manually at a specific version. Then, I restored the prior Pipfile and re-ran `pipenv lock --dev --keep-outdated` to re-add the qemu dependency back to the pipenv environment while keeping the "old" packages. It's annoying, yes, but I think the improvement to test coverage is worthwhile.)

Add the same fusepy dependency to the 'devel' extras group -- unfortunately I do not see a way for optional groups to imply other optional groups at present, so the dependency is repeated. The development group needs to include the full set of dependencies for the purpose of static analysis of all features offered by this library. Lastly, add the [fuse] extras group to tox's configuration as a workaround so that if a stale tox environment is found when running `make check-tox`, tox will know to rebuild its environments.

2021-06-01python: add tox supportJohn Snow1-1/+22
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.

Try using avocado to manage our various tests; even though right now they're only invoking shell scripts and not really running any python-native code.

Add avocado-framework to the setup.cfg development dependencies, and add avocado.cfg to store some preferences for how we'd like the test output to look. Finally, add avocado-framework to the Pipfile environment and lock the new dependencies. We are using avocado >= 87.0 here to take advantage of some features that Cleber has helpfully added to make the test output here *very* friendly and easy to read for developers that might chance upon the output in Gitlab CI. [Note: ALL of the dependencies get updated to the most modern versions that exist at the time of this writing. No way around it that I have seen. Not ideal, but so it goes.] Provided you have the right development dependencies (mypy, flake8, isort, pylint, and now avocado-framework) You should be able to run "avocado --config avocado.cfg run tests/" from the python folder to run all of these linters with the correct arguments.

setuptools doesn't have a formal understanding of development requires, but it has an optional feataures section. Fine; add a "devel" feature and add the requirements to it. To avoid duplication, we can modify pipenv to install qemu[devel] instead. This enables us to run invocations like "pip install -e .[devel]" and test the package on bleeding-edge packages beyond those specified in Pipfile.lock. Importantly, this also allows us to install the qemu development packages in a non-networked mode: `pip3 install --no-index -e .[devel]` will now fail if the proper development dependencies are not already met. This can be useful for automated build scripts where fetching network packages may be undesirable.

2021-06-01python: add VERSION fileJohn Snow1-0/+1
Python infrastructure as it exists today is not capable reliably of single-sourcing a package version from a parent directory. The authors of pip are working to correct this, but as of today this is not possible. The problem is that when using pip to build and install a python package, it copies files over to a temporary directory and performs its build there. This loses access to any information in the parent directory, including git itself. Further, Python versions have a standard (PEP 440) that may or may not follow QEMU's versioning. In general, it does; but naturally QEMU does not follow PEP 440. To avoid any automatically-generated conflict, a manual version file is preferred. I am proposing: - Python tooling follows the QEMU version, indirectly, but with a major version of 0 to indicate that the API is not expected to be stable. This would mean version 0.5.2.0, 0.5.1.1, 0.5.3.0, etc. - In the event that a Python package needs to be updated independently of the QEMU version, a pre-release alpha version should be preferred, but *only* after inclusion to the qemu development or stable branches. e.g. 0.5.2.0a1, 0.5.2.0a2, and so on should be preferred prior to 5.2.0's release. - The Python core tooling makes absolutely no version compatibility checks or constraints. It *may* work with releases of QEMU from the past or future, but it is not required to. i.e., "qemu.machine" will, for now, remain in lock-step with QEMU. - We reserve the right to split the qemu package into independently versioned subpackages at a later date. This might allow for us to begin versioning QMP independently from QEMU at a later date, if we so choose. Implement this versioning scheme by adding a VERSION file and setting it to 0.6.0.0a1.

Add setup.cfg and setup.py, necessary for installing a package via pip. Add a ReST document (PACKAGE.rst) explaining the basics of what this package is for and who to contact for more information. This document will be used as the landing page for the package on PyPI. List the subpackages we intend to package by name instead of using find_namespace because find_namespace will naively also packages tests, things it finds in the dist/ folder, etc. I could not figure out how to modify this behavior; adding allow/deny lists to setuptools kept changing the packaged hierarchy. This works, roll with it. I am not yet using a pyproject.toml style package manifest, because "editable" installs are not defined (yet?) by PEP-517/518. I consider editable installs crucial for development, though they have (apparently) always been somewhat poorly defined. Pip now (19.2 and later) now supports editable installs for projects using pyproject.toml manifests, but might require the use of the --no-use-pep517 flag, which somewhat defeats the point. Full support for setup.py-less editable installs was not introduced until pip 21.1.1: https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/9547/commits/7a95720e796a5e56481c1cc20b6ce6249c50f357 For now, while the dust settles, stick with the de-facto setup.py/setup.cfg combination supported by setuptools. It will be worth re-evaluating this point again in the future when our supported build platforms all ship a fairly modern pip.
