I invite you to leave review comments on my mock merge request on
gitlab, submitted against my own mirror. I will, as always, also respond
to feedback on-list.
ABOUT
=====
This series factors the python/qemu directory as an installable
package. It does not yet actually change the mechanics of how any other
python source in the tree actually consumes it (yet), beyond the import
path -- some import statements change in a few places.
RATIONALE
=========
The primary motivation of this series is primarily to formalize our
dependencies on mypy, flake8, isort, and pylint alongside versions that
are known to work. It does this using the setup.cfg and setup.py
files. It also adds explicitly pinned versions (using Pipfile.lock) of
these dependencies that should behave in a repeatable and known way for
developers and CI environments both. Lastly, it enables those CI checks
such that we can enforce Python coding quality checks via the CI tests.
An auxiliary motivation is that this package is formatted in such a way
that it COULD be uploaded to https://pypi.org/project/qemu and installed
independently of qemu.git with `pip install qemu`, but that button
remains *unpushed* and this series *will not* cause any such
releases. We have time to debate finer points like API guarantees and
versioning even after this series is merged.
Other bits of interest
----------------------
With the python tooling as a proper package, you can install this
package in editable or production mode to a virtual environment, your
local user environment, or your system packages. The primary benefit of
this is to gain access to QMP tooling regardless of CWD, without needing
to battle sys.path (and confounding other python analysis tools).
For example: when developing, you may go to qemu/python/ and run `make
venv` followed by `pipenv shell` to activate a virtual environment that
contains the qemu python packages. These packages will always reflect
the current version of the source files in the tree. When you are
finished, you can simply exit the shell (^d) to remove these packages
from your python environment.
When not developing, you could install a version of this package to your
environment outright to gain access to the QMP and QEMUMachine classes
for lightweight scripting and testing by using pip: "pip install
[--user] ."
TESTING THIS SERIES
===================
First of all, nothing should change. Without any intervention,
everything should behave exactly as it did before. The only new
information here comes from how to interact with and run the linters
that will be enforcing code quality standards in this subdirectory.
There are various invocations available that will test subtly different
combinations using subtly different environments. I am assuming some
light knowledge of Python environments and installing Python packages
here. If you have questions, I would be delighted to answer them.
To test the new tests, CD to ./python/ first, and then:
0. Try "make" or "make help" to get a sense of this series.
1. Try "make venv && pipenv shell" to get a venv with the package
installed to it in editable mode. Ctrl+d exits this venv shell. While
in this shell, any python script that uses "from qemu.[qmp|machine]
import ..." should work correctly regardless of where the script is,
or what your CWD is.
This will pull some packages from PyPI and install them into the
virtual environment, leaving your normal environment untouched.
You will need Python 3.6 and pipenv installed on your system to do
this step. For Fedora: "dnf install python36 pipenv" will do the
trick. If you don't have this, skip down to #4 and onwards.
2. Try "make check" while still in the shell to run the Python linters
using the venv built in the previous step. This will run avocado, which
will in turn execute mypy, flake8, isort and pylint with the correct
arguments.
3. Having exited the shell from above, try "make venv-check". This will
create and update the venv if needed, then run 'make check' within the
context of that shell. It should pass as long as the above did. You
should be able to run "make distclean" prior to running "make
venv-check" and have the entire process work start to finish.
4. Still outside of the venv, you may try running "make check". This
will not install anything, but unless you have the right Python
dependencies installed, these tests may fail for you. You might try
using "pip install --user .[devel]" to install the development packages
needed to run the tests successfully to your local user's python
environment. Once done, you will probably want to "pip uninstall qemu"
to remove the qemu packages to avoid them interfering with other things.
5. "make distclean" will delete the venv and any temporary files that
may have been created by packaging, installing, testing, etc.
6. You may also (if you wish) create your own environment using a Python
other than 3.6, bypassing pipenv. This may be useful for environments
in which you simply do not have Python 3.6 readily available, or
explicitly wish to test against a different version.
Using the Python of your choice:
- `> make distclean` (Remove the .venv, if you created one.)
- `> /usr/bin/python3.9 -m venv .venv`
- `> source .venv/bin/activate` (or activate.[fish|csh])
- `> make develop` (Installs linter deps to this venv)
- `> make check` (Runs tests using current env)
- `> deactivate` (Leaves the venv)
This *should* pass, and if it doesn't, it's a bug. Due to
dependencies changing like shifting sands, it's impossible to promise
support for every last combination of dependency and python
version. This is why the "make venv-check" target uses Python 3 and a
very explicit set of packages instead. Still, this form *should*
pass.
7. If you are running Fedora or a distro that packages multiple Python
versions, you can try running "make check-tox" to run the linters under
all Python versions from Python 3.6 to 3.9. This will create a series of
virtual environments under the .tox folder, leaving your existing
environment unscathed. This should pass, provided you have the requisite
Python versions on hand. When you are done, "make distclean" should
remove any testing files.
