All right, let's replace it just with 'python3'.


I just had a quick look and the autoconf-archive has AX_PYTHON which
claims to do that:
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_python.html
Unfortunately, it doesn't know about Python 3.8+ yet.


I think we can do better than hardcoding python3 here.  If it were only
for a quirk of an older Solaris version (11.3) which misses the python3
name, together with one (or soon two) optional testcases, I wouldn't
care much.  When looking at a VM with FreeBSD 12.2 (the current
release), it took quite some searching to find how to get python2 and
python3 commands installed, and I suspect those are not they only ones
where it's either difficult or missing completely.  Given that David
also plans to use python3, we could use another approach:


Where's a Python3 binary on a FreeBSD system?



Rather than relying on an obscure/unmaintained macro from the
autoconf-archive, automake includes AM_PATH_PYTHON which allows to
specify a minimum version and knows about python2, python3, and
python[23].x names.  While the version of our current prerequisite,
Automake 1.15.1, has a hardcoded list going up to python3.5 only, the
git version has removed that limitation.

What we should do to get this right is:

* import that git automake m4/python.m4 into our toplevel config

* call AM_PATH_PYTHON appropriately from gcc/configure.ac

* record the resulting python path in site.exp

* use it from there e.g. in gcov.exp

This way we're future-proof for all possible uses of python3, rather
than fiddling with the issue over and over again.


Feel free to propose a patch please.



I'm sorry to burden you with this, but given that you're the first to

understood.  The whole Python 2 vs. 3 situation is a mess,
unfortunately, but I expect that all systems we deal with that have
Python at all will have some version of Python 3 around, and moving
forward Python 2 will phase out over time given the lack of upstream
support.  Dealing with both at the current time seems a waste of time.
The only possible challenge may be to determine a python3 executable,
given that this exact name seems not to be ubiquitious.  Maybe there's
an autoconf macro that does the necessary work instead of having to do
this in the testsuite directly?

This may be lack of sleep on my part, but looking back at the emails, I
said that this case should be "UNSUPPORTED", but it looks like Martin
misread it as "UNRESOLVED", and I didn't correct him.  Sorry.

In particular, given the differences between Python 2 and Python 3 I
think it's a good idea to be explicit about the versions of Python that
we expect i.e. are such tests coded to the common subset of Python 2
and 3, or just to Python 3?  Given that they're intended to be
optional, I suggest just Python 3.  (I would like to be able to add
other Python-based scripts to the DejaGnu suite e.g. to verify JSON
output, hence I'd prefer to not have to maintain Python 2
compatibility)

Hi Martin,

>

> Ready for master?

unfortunately, your patch has a large number of problems:

* On targets where run-gcov-pytest decides that pytest isn't available
  (incorrectly in some cases), mail-report.log is cluttered with

UNRESOLVED: could not find Python interpreter and (or) pytest module for 
pr98273.C

  I fear you've been misled by David and Jeff here: UNRESOLVED isn't
  appropriate for cases like this.  Please read the DejaGnu manual for
  the semantics of the various test outcomes.  If anything (we often
  just silently skip testcases that cannot be run on some target), use
  UNSUPPORTED instead.

* Besides, the test outcomes are not generic message facilities but are
  supposed to follow a common format:

  :  []

  with  the pathname to the test relative to (in this case)
  gcc/testsuite.  In this case, this might be something like

  UNSUPPORTED: g++.dg/gcov/pr98273.C run-gcov-pytest

  Currently, you don't have the pathname in run-gcov-pytest, though.

* If we now have an (even optional) dependency on python/pytest, this
  (with the exact versions and use) needs to be documented in
  install.texi.

* Speaking of documenting, the new run-gcov-pytest needs to be
  documented in sourcebuild.texi.

* On to the implementation: your test for the presence of pytest is
  wrong:

set result [remote_exec host "pytest -m pytest --version"]

  has nothing to do with what you actually use later: on all of Fedora
  29, Ubuntu 20.04, and Solaris 11.4 (with a caveat) pytest is Python
  2.7 based, but you don't check that.  It is well possible that pytest
  for 2.7 is installed, but pytest for Python 3.x isn't.

  Besides, while Solaris 11.4 does bundle pytest, they don't deliver
  pytest, but only py.test due to a conflict with a different pytest from
  logilab-common, cf. https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1833.

  This is immaterial, however, since what you actually run is

spawn -noecho python3 -m pytest --color=no -rA -s --tb=no 
$srcdir/$subdir/$pytest_script

  So you should just run python3 -m pytest --version instead to check
  for the presence of the version you're going to use.

  Btw., there's a mess with pytest on Fedora 29: running the above gives

[...]
pluggy.PluginValidationError: Plugin 'benchmark' could not be loaded: (pytest 
3.6.4 (/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages), Requirement.parse('pytest>=3.8'))!

  Seems the packagers have broken things there.

  On top of all this, I wonder why you insist on a particular Python
  version here: I tried your single testcase and it PASSes just as well
  with Python 2.7!?  One reason I'm asking is that Solaris 11.3 bundles
  both Python 2.7 and 3.4, but (unlike Linux and Solaris 11.4) don't
  have /usr/bin/python3, just python (which is 2.7), python2.7, and
  python3.4.  Not that it matters too much, but you should be aware of
  the issue.

  When running the test on Solaris 11.4 (with the bundled pytest 4.4.0),
  I get

= test session starts ==

I had an idea, not sure if a good one: if all of the test logic is
moved from the .C file to a python script, then perhaps the script
should be the name of the .C file with a .py suffix i.e. here it could
be "pr98273.C.py"

At a high level, this patch calls out to Python 3, allowing for test
logic to be written in Python, rather than Tcl.  Are we doing this
anywhere else in our test suite?  I'm in favor of this (I'm much more
comfortable in Python than in Tcl, I dread anytime I have to touch the
Tcl code).

The test implicitly requires python3, and the 3rd party pytest module
installed within it.  What happens if these aren't installed?  (ideally

I had an idea, not sure if a good one: if all of the test logic is
moved from the .C file to a python script, then perhaps the script
should be the name of the .C file with a .py suffix i.e. here it could
be "pr98273.C.py"

Or would there be cases where different scripts could be called for the
same .C file?  Would scripts get reused between different source files?

(not sure)

I think this function needs a leading comment, talking about what is
invoked, and the kinds of lines that are parsed.

What happens if an exception is raised by the script?  e.g. if there's
a SyntaxError in the script, ideally it should "bubble up" through the
Tcl layer into a DejaGnu "ERROR" I think, rather than being silently
dropped.
