Running iotests is not required to build QEMU, so we can have stricter
version requirements for Python here and can make use of new features
and drop compatibility code earlier.

This makes qemu-iotests skip all Python tests if a Python version before
3.5 is used for the build.

I’d expect everything to exit with 1 if something does not work.  Thus,
I find the short script confusing (I think you do, too, or you wouldn’t
have written this comment).  Why not make it “sys.exit(0 if
sys.version_info >= (3, 5) else 1)”?

I just copied it from configure, actually. :-)

But we can use your way, too. I don't really mind.

Do we want this as a temporary fix only until we can stipulate the same 
version in the configure file?

If so, leaving a comment with "python2" in it anywhere will help locate 
this later.

There are other sys.version_info checks in the tree, so we'll
surely grep for them once we remove python2 support:

scripts/decodetree.py:if sys.version_info >= (3, 4):
scripts/qapi/common.py:            if sys.version_info[0] >= 3:

I thought that maybe we should leave the code around so that at some
later point, we could upgrade it to 3.6 (or something else) before QEMU
as a whole does so.

In fact... Could we already require 3.6 now instead of using 3.5, which
I think we only chose because of Debian Stretch (oldstable)?

I thought 3.5 was chosen because it's the EPEL version...?

No, I guess it's actually 3.6. Well! You won't catch me complaining
about that.

Sorry for the double-post. Do we want the iotest dependencies to
formally diverge from QEMU as a whole? It's part of the default `make
check` target and it's nice that it only skips instead of failing
outright, but ... I would like to somehow centrally express our
dependencies instead of hard-coding them in various individual places.
Python can be just one example of this.

Ideally, in my software utopia; configure expresses these dependencies
in a central location where they are easy to verify and maintain.

(And easy for downstream maintainers to verify and adjust their package
dependencies as-needed, too.)

I don't think it's a good idea to make testing run far ahead of the
build requirements in case we see more re-use and interdependence of
Python code in the future. Or, in general, to allow situations where you
can build but not test, especially on older platforms where that testing
might be even more important.

I think we're being good about that so far, but fracturing the
requirements seems like a step we maybe ought not take if we don't have to.

But, well, maybe it is a good idea and I am wrong, but I still think it
gets confusing to have one-off dependencies expressed in various places.
