Calling "setup.py test" has been deprecated since setuptools 28.5.
That's 6 years ago.

pybuild calls currently setup.py test, when it can see that the package supports it, and another test runner hasn't been selected. I looked at
dropping support for this (https://bugs.debian.org/982298) last year.
I did some test builds and decided that breaking 50 odd packages to stop calling setup.py test wasn't worth it.

I just ran the tests again, and the numbers are 41 new FTBFS, and 54
packages start emitting "Ran 0 tests", so they lost test coverage.
dd-lists attached.

That's an improvement over last year, but still enough to give me pause
on just changing pybuild and breaking packages.

We also now know that calling setup.py at all is deprecated. "setup.py
test" support hasn't been removed yet, and I don't know if it will be,
at this point...

Options:
1. Change pybuild, cause 41 new FTBFS, and 54 packages to lose testing.
File FTBFS bugs.
2. File "Severity: important" bugs on the packages that would FTBFS or lose
testing.
Change pybuild when most of these are closed.
3. File "Severity: minor" bugs on the packages that would FTBFS or lose
testing.
Leave pybuild as is, for now.
Change pybuild when upstream setuptools drops support for "setup.py
test".

That's 6 years ago.

pybuild calls currently setup.py test, when it can see that the package supports it, and another test runner hasn't been selected. I looked at dropping support for this (https://bugs.debian.org/982298) last year.
I did some test builds and decided that breaking 50 odd packages to stop calling setup.py test wasn't worth it.

I spent a bit of time this weekend converting some packages that I'm
interested in to use the pytest runner, focusing first on ones that were
using nose but also a few from this list (lazr.uri, python-wadllib, zope.interface).

I needed a couple of workarounds, some due to packages using
importlib.metadata to get their own version at import time (typified by
the rather messy https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/lazr.uri/-/commit/786825acc6)
and some due to pre-PEP-420 namespace packages (typified by https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/zope.interface/-/commit/a8c7881b1a).
Fortunately pytest provides IMO rather convenient ways to hook in and
gently tweak the import system just before it tries to import the
modules under test, which I think is better in this context than
bringing up a virtualenv or whatever.

I'd be happy to do a bit more of this sort of thing. https://veronneau.org/debian-python-team-2022-sprint-report.html said
that around 29 of 67 team-maintained packages were fixed during the
sprint, which means I'm going to have a slightly annoying hit rate if I
have to just go through this email to find targets. Is there somewhere
else where the current list of target packages is being maintained, or
would it be possible to do this mass bug-filing at sub-RC level so that
there's a convenient list in the BTS?

Thanks,

Calling "setup.py test" has been deprecated since setuptools 28.5.
That's 6 years ago.

This is the list we used during the sprint to coordinate:

https://pad.riseup.net/p/FixSetupTest-keep

It's probably outdated though and I feel a real MBF would be helpful to
keep track at this point...

Yep, let's get an MBF in place for this. The BTS with usertags (or the
BTS view through UDD with usertags) is a much better way of tracking a
todo list at this stage.

I'm not sure if there is a published deprecation timeline for "setup.py
test", but given the number of nasty surprises we've had from setuptools
over the last year with their current break-it-and-see-who-complains development paradigm, let's assume the worst.

Given it's not currently broken, I guess it would start with
severity:important and become severity:serious once setuptools stops
supporting this?

Assuming that we're not going to suddenly get a breaking setuptools
before bookworm, the MBF text should have a note that this will not
become serious before the release of bookworm. (Do we know if that is true?)


cheers
