Does that mean Tempest could not run on python 2.6 in the future?
Well so if you're running a single-node setup of OpenStack on a VM on
top of RHEL 6 and running Tempest from there, yeah, this is an
inconvenience, but it's a pretty simple fix, right? I just run my
OpenStack RHEL 6 VM and have an Ubuntu 12.04 or Fedora 19 or whatever
distro-that-supports-py27 I want running Tempest against it. Am I
missing something?
FWIW, trying to keep up with the changes in Tempest when you're running
on python 2.6 is no fun, especially with how tests are skipped
(skipException causes a test failure if you don't have a special
environment variable set). Plus you don't get parallel execution of the
tests.
So I agree with the approach even though it's going to hurt me in the
short-term.
I'd second this, the benefits are worth it!
Plus, with RHEL you can use "software collections" (1) which allow you
to install multiple versions of say, python (including 27 and 33), using
yum (or scl) so you just have to launch tempest with something like:
$ scl enable python27 ./run_tests.sh
