Support Python 3.5

The OpenStack community has been working on porting to Python 3 since the Havana summit, following a long-term and multi-phase approach. Python 2.7 is scheduled for end-of-life in 2020, and is currently only receiving security updates, so there is a firm deadline for finishing the transition. We need to finish enabling Python 3 support so we can move on to future phases of handling upgrades, allowing downstream packaging to catch up, and eventually dropping Python 2 support entirely -- ideally all before we reach that end-of-life date for Python 2.

This goal describes the "done" state for the next major step in the plan, which is to establish test jobs showing that the services work properly under Python 3 beyond their unit tests. Given the amount of work left to do on the long-term plan, it is important to take this step as soon as possible.

Note

We will defer any discussion of those future steps, and especially dropping Python 2 support, until after all projects are successfully running on Python 3, as defined below.

Our primary deployment platforms, Ubuntu LTS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, include Python 3.5 support in their most recent releases, either fully or via add-ons for supporting OpenStack. The primary test platform in CI is now Ubuntu Xenial, which includes Python 3.5. There are release candidates for Python 3.6 available upstream, but it is not clear yet whether distributors will adopt it immediately. Given the support for 3.5, that is the target, for now. Porting to 3.6 or later should be easier once 3.5 support is in place, and can be handled as a separate step from the items described in this goal.

Completion Criteria

For projects with functional tests in any form:

  1. All of the functional tests must pass when a service is running under python 3.5.
  2. Voting check and gate jobs are present to run all of the project's functional tests under python 3.5 to avoid regressions.

For projects with integration tests in any form:

  1. All of the integration tests must pass when a service is running under python 3.5.
  2. Voting check and gate jobs are present to run all of the project's integration tests under python 3.5 to avoid regressions.

For all projects:

  1. The setup.cfg for the project includes the "trove classifier" for PyPI projects "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.5".

Optionally, for projects with unit tests:

  1. All unit tests should pass under python 3.5, or have explicit skips added if the test does not apply to python 3 for some reason.
  2. Check and gate jobs are present to run the unit tests under python 3.5 to avoid regressions.

References

Existing work is being tracked using the wiki at https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Python3

Refer to the wiki for links to the history of the porting work as well as documents and tools that will help with the port.

Refer to the wiki page for instructions to enabling Python 3 for a project in devstack and for setting up the functional and integration tests.

Assistance is available from community members on IRC in the #openstack-python3 channel on freenode and on the openstack-dev mailing list using the subject tag [python3].

Current State / Anticipated Impact

Python 3.5 will be available in all of the long-term-support versions of the operating systems on which we support deployment, and is listed as part of our Python testing interface (cti-python).

Our CI infrastructure supports Python 3.

All of our major external dependencies now support Python 3.

All of our own libraries support Python 3.

It is possible to enable Python 3 in devstack for functional and integration testing.

The project status information below was collected from https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Python3 and is presented here for background information. Unit test support is not a requirement for this goal.

Projects with Remaining Work on Unit Tests

networking-l2gw

Work has not begun on unit tests.

nova

Unit test porting is in progress, and the tests that have been ported are used in a voting gate job. 63 unit tests remain as of 2017-03-02.

There is a known issue with a race condition that trips up mox-based tests. A large number of tests need to be rewritten to use mock instead, and so that part of the work is likely to be deferred beyond Pike and treated as a longer-term ongoing effort.

gate-tempest-dsvm-py35-ubuntu-xenial is gating on Nova changes.

All nova functional tests are also passing with py35 and gating on nova.

swift

Unit test porting is in progress, and the tests that have been ported are used in a voting gate job. 4495 tests remaining as of 2016-06-27.

More reviews needed.
