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.

"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.

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.

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.

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`.

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.

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.

https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/9990https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/7953
As outlined in ea1213b7cc, 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.

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.)

Move it up near the check-pipenv help text, and update it to suggest parity.
(At the time I first added it, I wasn't sure if I would be keeping it,
but I've come to appreciate it as it has actually helped uncover bugs I
would not have noticed without it. It should stay.)

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.

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.

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.
