With current macOS 11 runner images (20231216.1) the `python` on `$PATH` is
Python 3.12 and setuptools isn't installed by default. E.g.
```
python -mtox -e "py27-mode_localhost-ansible4"

Installing setuptools under Python 3.12 chooses package versions incompatible
with Python 2.7. Additionally Mitogen isn't yet compatible with Python 3.12
(#1033), so tests that call a local context with `python` fail.
This should address the warning in Azure Pipelines
> You should provide GitHub token if you want to download a python release.
> Otherwise you may hit the GitHub anonymous download limit.
The token is provided from a secret variable in the pipeline.
I'm abandoning tox-factor because having any [tox] requires = ... causes tox
3.x to create an isolated virtualenv for running tox itself. Since Tox 4.x was
released that virtualenv gets it, which is incompatible with the tox-factor
plugin.
e.g.
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/Users/runner/work/1/s/.tox/.tox/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tox_factor/compat.py",
line 2, in <module>
from tox.config.parallel import ENV_VAR_KEY_PUBLIC as TOX_PARALLEL_ENV
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tox.config.parallel'
```
Should result in
- better isolation of faults
- easier retries of failed jobs
- quicker test completion, to to more efficient queueing.
This does not expand test coverage, merely rearranges the tests already run.
Also
- Simplifies adding support for additional Ansible versions
- Unifies Python package versioning in CI and local test environments
- Matches Python versions tested, with those declared in setup.py
- Expands targets covered by automated Ansible tests to
- centos6, centos8
- debian9, debian11
- ubuntu1604, ubuntu2004
This reverse shell was historically used to debug CI jobs interactively.
It is not used anymore, and may be causing jobs to hang, then timeout.
There is no reason to keep it, and removing it simplifies CI jobs.
Additionally it has been reported as flagged by security scanners, so
removing it makes Mitogen easier to package/adopt.

A few changes are bundled in this
- Ansible 2.10.x and Mitogen 0.3.x are used to build nearly all images
(Ansile 2.3.x is retained for CentOS 5, because it uses Python 2.4).
- Tox is used to install/run Ansible, replacing build_docker_images.py
- A static inventory, identifying containers by name rather than ID.
- debian-test image is renamed to debian9-test
- debian9-test image is now based on debian:9
- centos6-test image is now based on moreati/centos6-vault
following the same scheme as centos5-test.
- Images are now uploaded to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR).
See #809.
- Debian recommended packages aren't installed (e.g. build-essential)
- Python 2.x and Python 3.x are installed wherever available.
- Python Virtualenv is installed wherever available.
The Travis Linux distribution must be upgraded because the Trusty
(Ubuntu 14.04) image does not have Python 3.9. Xenial (Ubuntu 16.04) is
the earliest version that offers Python 3.9.
I have not chosen a later release, in order to aid restoration of Python
2.4 - 2.6 tests.
I hope this will prevent AWS Elastic Container Registry returning 429:
Too Many Requests error, due to the burst of activity from multiple VMs,
when a CI build begins.
The ansible_mitogen test suite takes over an hour when Ansible is not
accelerated by Mitogen. This change aims to reduce that by skipping
tests with a large number of iterations when the linear strategy is
chosen.
The tagged tests are intended to uncover Mitogen resource leaks. Since
Mitogen is not invoked when strategy=linear, the slight reduction in
test coverage is an acceptable trade off.
These are not part of the official testing regime (tests run for pull
requests). I find them convenient for local development.
Limitations
- Python 2.7+ only. No Python 2.4, 2.5, or 2.6.
- Requires Pythons pre-installed (e.g. DeadSnakes, pyenv)
- No coverage of alternate controller OS (e.g. MacOS)
The environments tested by default are
py27-mode_ansible-ansible2.10
py36-mode_ansible-ansible2.10
py39-mode_ansible-ansible2.10
py27-mode_mitogen
py36-mode_mitogen
py39-mode_mitogen
py27-mode_mitogen-distro_centos7
py36-mode_mitogen-distro_centos7
py39-mode_mitogen-distro_centos7
The environment variable DISTRO is used to set the target Docker image
used when running the Mitogen unit tests. DISTROS is used for the
Ansible integration tests. VER sets the version of Ansible that is
installed on the controller.
When MODE=Mitogen
- there is no need to set VER, because nothing that installs Ansible
- it does not make sense to set DISTROS.
