please convert python scripts to Python3

[Matthias Klose]

There is still the goal to remove Python2 from the desktop images, and to use Python3 only. Please convert the remaining python scripts installed with the gconf2 package to Python3.

$ fgrep -r /usr/bin/python /usr/share/2013.com.canonical.certification:checkbox /usr/lib/2013.com.canonical.certification\:* | fgrep -v python3
/usr/lib/2013.com.canonical.certification:checkbox/bin/glob_test:#!/usr/bin/python

/usr/lib/2013.com.canonical.certification:checkbox/bin/pm_test: "{user} ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/python' "

Hey.

We'll look at converting those and uploading a fix to Debian and sync that to Ubuntu as soon as v+1 opens.

Thanks
ZK

Both sleep_test and pm_test are already converted to python3 in trunk.

I'll propose to remove glob_test since:
1. it not used by our whitelists/testplans
2. globs last version was in 2007

The last script manage_compiz_plugin is used to stop unity plugin to test multitouch gestures and is bloked by https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1310794

[Sylvain Pineau (sylvain-pineau)]

manage_compiz_plugin converted to python3. The checkbox provider is clean now :)

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

We still depend on python-opencv for screenshot_validation. I think we need to reopen the upstream bug.

[Sylvain Pineau (sylvain-pineau)]

and python3 bindings are only available in opencv 3.0 (only RC1 available so far upstream).

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

Let's package that and see if this works. Part of the W cycle is about
getting rid of things like that and by working on all fronts to remove
remnants of python2-only APIs

opencv 3 is gold now but W still provides 2.x versions

[Sylvain Pineau (sylvain-pineau)]

http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/xenial/opencv is 2.4.9.1 so no python3 support.
Given that we're only using the opencv test for sru testing in the lab. I would just remove the package from the dependencies (and install it as part of the provisioning process)

[Sylvain Pineau (sylvain-pineau)]

Upstream committed a version of this package without the python-opencv dependency. Once released to the hwcert stable ppa we'll update it on debian side.

[Sylvain Pineau (sylvain-pineau)]

I'm preparing a packaging update for the checkbox provider, the new version will be sync'ed from debian next week

[Sylvain Pineau (sylvain-pineau)]

It's finally over. plainbox-provider-checkbox 0.25-1 is python3 only in xenial \o/
