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. Create tests/, and add shell scripts which call out to mypy, flake8, pylint and isort to enforce the standards in this directory. 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. (A forthcoming commit adds the much easier 'make check'.)

QEMU Python Tooling =================== This directory houses Python tooling used by the QEMU project to build, configure, and test QEMU. It is organized by namespace (``qemu``), and then by package (e.g. ``qemu/machine``, ``qemu/qmp``, etc). ``setup.py`` is used by ``pip`` to install this tooling to the current environment. ``setup.cfg`` provides the packaging configuration used by ``setup.py`` in a setuptools specific format. You will generally invoke it by doing one of the following: 1. ``pip3 install .`` will install these packages to your current environment. If you are inside a virtual environment, they will install there. If you are not, it will attempt to install to the global environment, which is **not recommended**. 2. ``pip3 install --user .`` will install these packages to your user's local python packages. If you are inside of a virtual environment, this will fail; you likely want the first invocation above. If you append the ``-e`` argument, pip will install in "editable" mode; which installs a version of the package that installs a forwarder pointing to these files, such that the package always reflects the latest version in your git tree. Installing ".[devel]" instead of "." will additionally pull in required packages for testing this package. They are not runtime requirements, and are not needed to simply use these libraries. See `Installing packages using pip and virtual environments <https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/>`_ for more information. Files in this directory ----------------------- - ``qemu/`` Python package source directory. - ``tests/`` Python package tests directory. - ``avocado.cfg`` Configuration for the Avocado test-runner. - ``MANIFEST.in`` is read by python setuptools, it specifies additional files that should be included by a source distribution. - ``PACKAGE.rst`` is used as the README file that is visible on PyPI.org. - ``Pipfile`` is used by Pipenv to generate ``Pipfile.lock``. - ``Pipfile.lock`` is a set of pinned package dependencies that this package is tested under in our CI suite. It is used by ``make venv-check``. - ``README.rst`` you are here! - ``VERSION`` contains the PEP-440 compliant version used to describe this package; it is referenced by ``setup.cfg``. - ``setup.cfg`` houses setuptools package configuration. - ``setup.py`` is the setuptools installer used by pip; See above.
