:''Python 3 is usually seen as the new Python version which breaks compatibility and raises new Unicode issues. Python 3 is much more than that. It’s a new clean language which has a more consistent syntax. It has many new features, not less than 15 new modules. Python 3 is already well supported by major Linux distributions, whereas Python 2.7 reached its end-of-life. Slowly, some bugs cannot be fixed in Python 2.7 anymore and are only fixed in the latest Python 3 release. Python 3 is now 5 years old and considered as a mature programming language.''

== Python 2: Python 2.6 support dropped, Python 2.7 only ==
 +
 +
OpenStack Liberty targets Python 2.7 and 3.4.
 +
 +
Python 2.6 support is being dropped in OpenStack since OpenStack Juno for servers. Python 2.6 support is currently kept in Oslo libraries and clients. See [https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/juno-cross-project-future-of-python juno-cross-project-future-of-python] etherpad.
 +
 +
Python 3.3 support is being dropped since OpenStack Liberty.
 +
 +
Python 2.6 is slowly being dropped in the whole OpenStack project, ex: [https://review.openstack.org/#/c/201295/ Remove p26 job from DIB].
 +
 +
Python 2.6 support will be removed in Oslo and Clients clients for OpenStack Mitaka: [http://markmail.org/message/oe6wewgvbvvyts73 Oslo libraries dropping python 2.6 compatability].

OpenStack project chose to use the same code base for Python 2 and Python 3. The [http://pythonhosted.org/six/ Six: Python 2 and 3 Compatibility Library] helps to write code working on both versions. OpenStack supported Python 2.6 for RHEL up to Juno, but not Python 2.5 and older. Debian Stable provides Python 3 but only Python 3.2, so u'unicode' syntax should be avoided (use six.u('unicode') instead).

OpenStack project chose to use the same code base for Python 2 and Python 3. The [http://pythonhosted.org/six/ Six: Python 2 and 3 Compatibility Library] helps to write code working on both versions. OpenStack supported Python 2.6 for RHEL up to Juno, but not Python 2.5 and older. As we are targeting Python 3.4 and up, there is no need to avoid u'unicode' syntax. Do not use six.u('unicode').
 +
 
 +
=== Before you begin ===
 +
 
 +
If you're doing development with Ubuntu/Debian (and not using devstack with the USE_PYTHON flag set), then you'll need the following packages installed to run the py34 tox unit test targets in the projects:
 +
 
 +
    sudo apt-get install python3.4 python3.4-dev
 +
 
 +
=== sixer tool ===
 +
 
 +
The [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sixer sixer] tool helps to replace most basic patterns to add Python 3 compatibility and it respects OpenStack coding style.
  
 
=== Common patterns ===
 
=== Common patterns ===
  
* Replace dict.iteritems() with six.iteritems(dict)
+
* Replace "for key in dict.iterkeys()" with "for key in dict"
 +
* Replace dict.iteritems() with dict.items()
 +
* Replace dict.itervalues() with dict.values()
 +
 
 +
Note: Replacing dict.iteritems()/.itervalues() with six.iteritems(dict)/six.itervalues(dict) was preferred in the past, but there was [http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-June/066391.html a discussion suggesting to avoid six for this]. The overhead of creating a temporary list on Python 2 is negligible.
 +
 
 
* Replace iterator.next() with next(iterator)
 
* Replace iterator.next() with next(iterator)
 
* Replace basestring with six.string_types
 
* Replace basestring with six.string_types
 
* Replace unicode with six.text_type
 
* Replace unicode with six.text_type
 +
* Replace (str, unicode) with six.string_types
 +
* Replace (int, long) with six.integer_types
 +
* Replace func.func_name with func.__name__
 +
* Replace exceptions.OSError with OSError and remove "import exceptions"
 +
* map() and filter() if a list is needed on Python 3:
 +
** Replace map(func, data) with [func(item) for item in data]
 +
** Replace filter(lambda obj: test(obj), data) with [obj for obj in data if test(obj)]
 +
** Note: Usually, tests fail because map() or filter() objects have no length
 +
 +
=== Serialization: base64, JSON, etc. ===
 +
 +
* [with oslo.serialization 1.10 or newer] Get the [http://docs.openstack.org/developer/oslo.serialization/api.html#module-oslo_serialization.base64 base64 module] from oslo_serialization (from oslo_serialization import base64) to get functions:
 +
** oslo_serialization.base64.decode_as_bytes(encoded)
 +
** oslo_serialization.base64.decode_as_text(encoded, encoding='utf-8')
 +
** oslo_serialization.base64.encode_as_bytes(s, encoding='utf-8')
 +
**  oslo_serialization.base64.encode_as_text(s, encoding='utf-8')
 +
* Replace text.encode('base64') and base64.b64encode(text) with:
 +
** base64.b64encode(text): only accept bytes and returns bytes,
 +
** or: oslo_serialization.base64.encode_as_bytes(text): accept bytes or Unicode and returns bytes
 +
** or: oslo_serialization.base64.encode_as_text(text): accept bytes and Unicode and returns Unicode
 +
** '''Warning:''' base64.encodestring(raw) adds a newline ("\n"), whereas encode_as_bytes() and encode_as_text() don't.
 +
* Replace raw.decode('base64') with:
 +
** base64.b64decode(raw): return bytes
 +
** oslo_serialization.base64.decode_as_bytes(encoded): accept bytes and Unicode, returns bytes
 +
** oslo_serialization.base64.decode_as_text(encoded): accept bytes and Unicode, returns Unicode
 +
 +
Hexadecimal:
 +
 +
* Replace raw.decode('hex') with binascii.unhexlify(raw)
 +
* Replace bytes.encode('hex') with binascii.hexlify(bytes)
 +
 +
JSON:
 +
 +
* [with oslo.serialization 1.10 or newer] Replace json.dumps(obj) with [https://docs.openstack.org/oslo.serialization/latest/reference/index.html#oslo_serialization.jsonutils.dump_as_bytes oslo_serialization.jsonutils.dump_as_bytes(obj)]
 +
* Replace json.loads(obj) with oslo_serialization.jsonutils.loads(obj): it accepts bytes and Unicode, bytes is decoded from UTF-8. It avoids "if isinstance(obj, bytes): obj = obj.decode('utf-8')" which may require a second temporary variable.
 +
 +
=== contextlib.nested ===
 +
 +
To replaced contextlib.nested is to use [https://docs.python.org/3/library/contextlib.html#contextlib.ExitStack contextlib.ExitStack]. It's available on Python 2 using [https://contextlib2.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#contextlib2.ExitStack contextlib2.ExitStack]. For contextlib.nested, nova/test.py defines:
 +
 +
if six.PY3:
 +
    @contextlib.contextmanager
 +
    def nested(*contexts):
 +
        with contextlib.ExitStack() as stack:
 +
            yield [stack.enter_context(c) for c in contexts]
 +
else:
 +
    nested = contextlib.nested
 +
 +
Another option to replaced contextlib.nested is to use the @mock.patch decorator. Example with nested function:
 +
 +
def test_thing(self):
 +
    @mock.patch(...)
 +
    @mock.patch(...)
 +
    @mock.patch(...)
 +
    def do_test(...):
 +
        ...
 +
 +
    do_test()
 +
 +
More options:
 +
* Mock provides a context that patches multiple things so that no nesting is needed: [https://docs.python.org/dev/library/unittest.mock.html#patch-multiple mock.patch.multiple()]
 +
* oslotest provides fixtures for mock, so you don't need a context: [http://docs.openstack.org/developer/oslotest/api.html#module-oslotest.mockpatch oslotest.mockpatch].
 +

=== oslo_utils.encodeutils.to_utf8 ===
 +
 +
oslo.utils 3.5 has an oslo_utils.encodeutils.to_utf8() function to encode Unicode to UTF-8 and return bytes unchanged.
  
 
=== bytes.decode and unicode.encode ===
 
=== bytes.decode and unicode.encode ===
Line 69: Line 166:
  
 
=== logging module and format exceptions ===
 
=== logging module and format exceptions ===
 +
 +
The <code>exception_to_unicode(exc)</code> function of oslo_utils.encodeutils is the recommanded way to format an exception to Unicode. This function works on Python 2 and Python 3 and it should avoid mojibake is most cases.
  
 
On Python 2, the logging module accepts bytes and text strings. On Python 3, it only accepts text strings. For example, logging.error(b'hello') logs <code>b'hello'</code> instead of <code>'hello'</code>.

The "db type could not be determined" error comes from .testrepository/times.dbm used by testr.
 
The "db type could not be determined" error comes from .testrepository/times.dbm used by testr.
  
Workaround: "rm -rf .testrepository/".
+
Workaround: "rm -rf .testrepository/" and then run "tox -e py34" before running "tox -e py27". You only have to do this once. The problem only occurs with "tox -e py34" when .testrepository/ was created by Python 2.

eventlet 0.15 is the first release supporting Python 3, but monkey-patching did not work with Python 3. Monkey-patching partially works on Python 3 with eventlet 0.16. All monkey-patching should be fixed in the future eventlet 0.17.3 release.

Status at 2019-01-24: Unit tests all running and voting under Python 3 via the use of the mox3 package. There are only 3 unit test files left that are using mox3 (nova/tests/unit/cells/test_cells_messaging.py, nova/tests/unit/network/test_neutronv2.py, nova/tests/unit/network/test_manager.py).
...

We advised contributors not to spend time replacing mox in files testing cells v1 and nova-network (test_cells_messaging.py and test_manager.py), as both are slated for removal as soon as we're able. Progress is being tracked at: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/mox-removal-stein

The list of its dependencies is minimal and components like keystone are optional. This was partially addressed with an extra dependency: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/544121/ but this requires  a) support in devstack (tentative support in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/544383/) b) at least another extra, or a more generic way of doing this; even with an additional extra explicitly required in devstack, the extras would be installed from pip breaking the test of depending patches.

We are facing an issue with pickle library and python 3, once that gets fixed we can try to make the python 3 gate voting.

| adjutant || style="background-color: lightgreen;" | Yes || style="background-color: lightgreen;" | voting || style="background-color: orange;" | Partial* || (*) Adjutant's unit tests include a suite of API tests against Adjutant APIs using DRF's internal test classes. While not true functional tests, they do stand up an internal web server and process real workloads from Adjutant's perspective, with mocking for external APIs and services (Keystone, Nova, Neutron, etc) in the places we touch their clients. This tests 92% of the code, so in all likelihood covers most py3 vs py2 issues. Tempest tests are also planned for later.

=== Functional and Integration Tests ===
 +
 
 +
Etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/support-python3.5-functional-tests
 +
 
 +
Doug Hellmann wrote a cross-project specification to run integration tests on Python 3: [http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/openstack-specs/specs/enable-python-3-int-func-tests.html Enabling Python 3 for Application Integration Tests] (spec approved for Liberty).
 +
 
 +
Patch for DevStack: [https://review.openstack.org/#/c/181165/ Enable optional Python 3 support].
 +
 
 +
Projects wanting to run their existing functional test suite against their services on Python 3 should:-
 +
* Add the Python3.4 trove classifier to the setup.cfg configuration file of the respective service.
 +
* set USE_PYTHON3=True in Devstack's localrc config file before running stack.sh after [https://review.openstack.org/#/c/181165/ the DevStack change] is merged or cherry-pick until then.
 +
* set basepython = python3.5 in tox for the necessary functional/integration tests environment.
 +
 
 +
Then run tox -e<your functional test suite name>. Example:- tox -efunctional to run the functional the tests of a certain project.
 +
 
 +
Once the functional test suite is reliably passing against the service in a python 3.5 env, the trove classifiers must be updated along with a new gate job being added to the project.

 +
Python 3.6 is scheduled to be the default/only version of Python available in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Debian 10 (Buster).
 +
 
 +
Known issues:
 +
 
 +
* eventlet<0.21.0 is broken with Python 3.6, see https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/issues/371. There is also https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/issues/401 which is fixed in 0.22.0, so it might seem feasible to upgrade to eventlet-0.22.1 once we can do proper testing.

Revision as of 14:17, 7 March 2019

This page tracks the progress of Python 3 effort porting for OpenStack.

IRC: #openstack-dev

Join the #openstack-dev IRC channel on the Freenode network to discuss Python 3.

Python 3

Why should OpenStack move to Python 3 right now?

Python 3 is usually seen as the new Python version which breaks compatibility and raises new Unicode issues. Python 3 is much more than that. It’s a new clean language which has a more consistent syntax. It has many new features, not less than 15 new modules. Python 3 is already well supported by major Linux distributions, whereas Python 2.7 reached its end-of-life. Slowly, some bugs cannot be fixed in Python 2.7 anymore and are only fixed in the latest Python 3 release. Python 3 is now 5 years old and considered as a mature programming language.

Python 2: Python 2.6 support dropped, Python 2.7 only

OpenStack Liberty targets Python 2.7 and 3.4.

Python 2.6 support is being dropped in OpenStack since OpenStack Juno for servers. Python 2.6 support is currently kept in Oslo libraries and clients. See juno-cross-project-future-of-python etherpad.

Python 3.3 support is being dropped since OpenStack Liberty.

Python 2.6 is slowly being dropped in the whole OpenStack project, ex: Remove p26 job from DIB.

Python 2.6 support will be removed in Oslo and Clients clients for OpenStack Mitaka: Oslo libraries dropping python 2.6 compatability.

Port Python 2 code to Python 3

OpenStack project chose to use the same code base for Python 2 and Python 3. The Six: Python 2 and 3 Compatibility Library helps to write code working on both versions. OpenStack supported Python 2.6 for RHEL up to Juno, but not Python 2.5 and older. As we are targeting Python 3.4 and up, there is no need to avoid u'unicode' syntax. Do not use six.u('unicode').

Before you begin

If you're doing development with Ubuntu/Debian (and not using devstack with the USE_PYTHON flag set), then you'll need the following packages installed to run the py34 tox unit test targets in the projects:

   sudo apt-get install python3.4 python3.4-dev

sixer tool

The sixer tool helps to replace most basic patterns to add Python 3 compatibility and it respects OpenStack coding style.

Common patterns

  • Replace "for key in dict.iterkeys()" with "for key in dict"
  • Replace dict.iteritems() with dict.items()
  • Replace dict.itervalues() with dict.values()

Note: Replacing dict.iteritems()/.itervalues() with six.iteritems(dict)/six.itervalues(dict) was preferred in the past, but there was a discussion suggesting to avoid six for this. The overhead of creating a temporary list on Python 2 is negligible.

  • Replace iterator.next() with next(iterator)
  • Replace basestring with six.string_types
  • Replace unicode with six.text_type
  • Replace (str, unicode) with six.string_types
  • Replace (int, long) with six.integer_types
  • Replace func.func_name with func.__name__
  • Replace exceptions.OSError with OSError and remove "import exceptions"
  • map() and filter() if a list is needed on Python 3:
    • Replace map(func, data) with [func(item) for item in data]
    • Replace filter(lambda obj: test(obj), data) with [obj for obj in data if test(obj)]
    • Note: Usually, tests fail because map() or filter() objects have no length

Serialization: base64, JSON, etc.

  • [with oslo.serialization 1.10 or newer] Get the base64 module from oslo_serialization (from oslo_serialization import base64) to get functions:
    • oslo_serialization.base64.decode_as_bytes(encoded)
    • oslo_serialization.base64.decode_as_text(encoded, encoding='utf-8')
    • oslo_serialization.base64.encode_as_bytes(s, encoding='utf-8')
    • oslo_serialization.base64.encode_as_text(s, encoding='utf-8')
  • Replace text.encode('base64') and base64.b64encode(text) with:
    • base64.b64encode(text): only accept bytes and returns bytes,
    • or: oslo_serialization.base64.encode_as_bytes(text): accept bytes or Unicode and returns bytes
    • or: oslo_serialization.base64.encode_as_text(text): accept bytes and Unicode and returns Unicode
    • Warning: base64.encodestring(raw) adds a newline ("\n"), whereas encode_as_bytes() and encode_as_text() don't.
  • Replace raw.decode('base64') with:
    • base64.b64decode(raw): return bytes
    • oslo_serialization.base64.decode_as_bytes(encoded): accept bytes and Unicode, returns bytes
    • oslo_serialization.base64.decode_as_text(encoded): accept bytes and Unicode, returns Unicode

Hexadecimal:

  • Replace raw.decode('hex') with binascii.unhexlify(raw)
  • Replace bytes.encode('hex') with binascii.hexlify(bytes)

JSON:

  • [with oslo.serialization 1.10 or newer] Replace json.dumps(obj) with oslo_serialization.jsonutils.dump_as_bytes(obj)
  • Replace json.loads(obj) with oslo_serialization.jsonutils.loads(obj): it accepts bytes and Unicode, bytes is decoded from UTF-8. It avoids "if isinstance(obj, bytes): obj = obj.decode('utf-8')" which may require a second temporary variable.

contextlib.nested

To replaced contextlib.nested is to use contextlib.ExitStack. It's available on Python 2 using contextlib2.ExitStack. For contextlib.nested, nova/test.py defines:

if six.PY3:
    @contextlib.contextmanager
    def nested(*contexts):
        with contextlib.ExitStack() as stack:
            yield [stack.enter_context(c) for c in contexts]
else:
    nested = contextlib.nested

Another option to replaced contextlib.nested is to use the @mock.patch decorator. Example with nested function:

def test_thing(self):
   @mock.patch(...)
   @mock.patch(...)
   @mock.patch(...)
   def do_test(...):
       ...
   do_test()

More options:

oslo_utils.encodeutils.to_utf8

oslo.utils 3.5 has an oslo_utils.encodeutils.to_utf8() function to encode Unicode to UTF-8 and return bytes unchanged.

bytes.decode and unicode.encode

Python has a notion of "default encoding": sys.getdefaultencoding(). On Python 2, the default encoding is ASCII, whereas it is UTF-8 on Python 3.

Don't write data.decode() or text.encode() without parameter, because you will use a different encoding on Python 2 and Python 3.

Use an explicit encoding instead. Example: data.decode('utf-8') or text.encode('utf-8'). The right encoding depends on the use case, but UTF-8 is usually a good candidate (it is a superset of ASCII).

safe_decode

Olso Incubator has a function safe_decode() which can be used to decode a bytes string and pass text strings unchanged.

The default encoding is sys.stdin.encoding or sys.getdefaultencoding():

  • Python 3: the locale encoding, or UTF-8 if sys.stdin is "mocked" (io.StringIO instance)
  • Python 2: the locale encoding, or ASCII if stdin is not a TTY or if sys.stdin is "mocked" (StringIO.StringIO instance)

It's safer to explicit the encoding to not rely on the locale encoding and have the same behaviour even if sys.stdin is "mocked".

Safe usage:

  • safe_decode(data, 'utf-8'): decode bytes from UTF-8 or returns data unchanged if it's already a text string

Unsafe usage:

  • safe_decode(data)

By default, the decoder is strict. You can specify a different error handler using the optional errors parameter. Example: safe_decode(b'[\xff]', 'ascii', 'ignore') returns '[]'.

safe_encode

Olso Incubator has a function safe_encode() which can be used to encode a string. Its usage is tricky and you should understand how it works and which encodings are used.

  • safe_encode(text) encodes text to the output encoding
  • safe_encode(bytes) may decode the string and then reencode to a different encoding if input and output encodings are different

The default input encoding (incomding parameter) is sys.stdin.encoding or sys.getdefaultencoding():

  • Python 3: the locale encoding, or UTF-8 if sys.stdin is "mocked" (io.StringIO instance)
  • Python 2: the locale encoding, or ASCII if stdin is not a TTY or if sys.stdin is "mocked" (StringIO.StringIO instance)

The default output encoding (encoding parameter) is UTF-8.

It's safer to explicit the input encoding to not rely on the locale encoding and have the same behaviour even if sys.stdin is "mocked".

Safe usage:

  • safe_encode(data, incoming='utf-8'): encode text to UTF-8 or returns data unchanged if it's already a bytes string (since the input and output encoding are UTF-8)

Unsafe usage:

  • safe_encode(data)

Example:

  • safe_encode(b'\xe9', incoming='latin-1') returns b'\xc3\xa9'.

By default, the encoder and the decoder are strict. You can specify a different error handler using the optional errors parameter. Example: safe_encode(b'[\xff]', incoming='ascii', errors='ignore') returns b'[]'.

logging module and format exceptions

The exception_to_unicode(exc) function of oslo_utils.encodeutils is the recommanded way to format an exception to Unicode. This function works on Python 2 and Python 3 and it should avoid mojibake is most cases.

On Python 2, the logging module accepts bytes and text strings. On Python 3, it only accepts text strings. For example, logging.error(b'hello') logs b'hello' instead of 'hello'.

There is no clear rule for format exceptions yet. There are different choices depending on the project:

  • str(exc): native string, so use bytes on Python 2
  • six.text_type(exc): always use Unicode. It may raise unicode error depending on the exception, be careful. Example of such error in python 2: unicode(Exception("nonascii:\xe9")).
  • six.u(str(exc)): unsafe on Python 2 if str(exc) contains non-ASCII bytes, ex: unicode(str(Exception("\xff")))
  • LOG.exception(_LE("... %(exc)s ..."), {"exc": exc, ...})

Since logging functions expect text strings on Python 3, logged exceptions should be formatted using str(exc). Example: LOG.debug(str(exc)).

HTTP

The HTTP protocol is based on bytes:

  • HTTP body contains bytes. For example, use io.BytesIO for a stream storing an HTTP body.
  • HTTPConnection.getresponse().read() returns bytes (in Python 3, str which is bytes in Python 2)
  • On Python 3, the http.client accepts text for HTTP headers: keys are encoded to ASCII and values to ISO 8859-1 (which is only a small subset of the Unicode charset)
  • It looks like Swift encodes internally HTTP headers to UTF-8 (directly using the UTF-8 encoding, not using a MIME encoding like =?UTF-8?Q?...?=. See the HTTP [RFC 2047 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt] and HTTP header should use what character encoding?

Common pitfalls

What is a string ?

You should definitely not talk about "strings" in your commit logs/reviews. In Python 2, a 'string' is bytes; in Python 3, it's a Unicode text string. The following code snippet may help in understanding the difference:

Python 2:

   >>> type('foo')
   <type 'str'>
   >>> type(u'foo')
   <type 'unicode'>
   >>> type(b'foo')
   <type 'str'>
   >>> isinstance('foo', six.text_type)
   False
   >>> isinstance(u'foo', six.text_type)
   True
   >>> bytes is str
   True
   >>> b'foo'[0]
   'f'

Python 3:

   >>> type('foo')
   <class 'str'>
   >>> type(u'foo')
   <class 'str'>
   >>> type(b'foo')
   <class 'bytes'>
   >>> isinstance('foo', six.text_type)
   True
   >>> isinstance(b'foo', six.text_type)
   False
   >>> bytes is str
   False
   >>> b'foo'[0]
   102

tox/testr error: db type could not be determined

The "db type could not be determined" error comes from .testrepository/times.dbm used by testr.

Workaround: "rm -rf .testrepository/" and then run "tox -e py34" before running "tox -e py27". You only have to do this once. The problem only occurs with "tox -e py34" when .testrepository/ was created by Python 2.

Status at 2019-01-24: Unit tests all running and voting under Python 3 via the use of the mox3 package. There are only 3 unit test files left that are using mox3 (nova/tests/unit/cells/test_cells_messaging.py, nova/tests/unit/network/test_neutronv2.py, nova/tests/unit/network/test_manager.py).

We advised contributors not to spend time replacing mox in files testing cells v1 and nova-network (test_cells_messaging.py and test_manager.py), as both are slated for removal as soon as we're able. Progress is being tracked at: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/mox-removal-stein

sahara Yes voting sahara-tests-scenario-py3 (experimental) Status at 2018-02-23: the job fails during devstack deployment, because swift does not start. The list of its dependencies is minimal and components like keystone are optional. This was partially addressed with an extra dependency: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/544121/ but this requires a) support in devstack (tentative support in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/544383/) b) at least another extra, or a more generic way of doing this; even with an additional extra explicitly required in devstack, the extras would be installed from pip breaking the test of depending patches.

We are facing an issue with pickle library and python 3, once that gets fixed we can try to make the python 3 gate voting.

Victor Stinner proposed the trove-python3 blueprint for Mitaka.

From Victor (3/17/2016): "I propose to discuss Python 3 before the summit. For example, prepare a concrete plan to port Trove to Python 3, list technical issues like MySQL-Python, etc."

List of all OpenStack projects: projects.yaml.

Project Unit tests pass on Python 3 py35 gate functional tests Comments
adjutant Yes voting Partial* (*) Adjutant's unit tests include a suite of API tests against Adjutant APIs using DRF's internal test classes. While not true functional tests, they do stand up an internal web server and process real workloads from Adjutant's perspective, with mocking for external APIs and services (Keystone, Nova, Neutron, etc) in the places we touch their clients. This tests 92% of the code, so in all likelihood covers most py3 vs py2 issues. Tempest tests are also planned for later.

Functional and Integration Tests

Etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/support-python3.5-functional-tests

Doug Hellmann wrote a cross-project specification to run integration tests on Python 3: Enabling Python 3 for Application Integration Tests (spec approved for Liberty).

Patch for DevStack: Enable optional Python 3 support.

Projects wanting to run their existing functional test suite against their services on Python 3 should:-

  • Add the Python3.4 trove classifier to the setup.cfg configuration file of the respective service.
  • set USE_PYTHON3=True in Devstack's localrc config file before running stack.sh after the DevStack change is merged or cherry-pick until then.
  • set basepython = python3.5 in tox for the necessary functional/integration tests environment.

Then run tox -e<your functional test suite name>. Example:- tox -efunctional to run the functional the tests of a certain project.

Once the functional test suite is reliably passing against the service in a python 3.5 env, the trove classifiers must be updated along with a new gate job being added to the project.
