Almost all of the Python code in the respository has been updated
to be compatibile with Python 2.6, Python 3.4, or newer. The only
exceptions are arc_summery3.py which requires Python 3, and pyzfs
which requires at least Python 2.7. This allows us to maintain a
single version of the code and support most default versions of
python. This change does the following:
* Sets the default shebang for all Python scripts to python3. If
only Python 2 is available, then at install time scripts which
are compatible with Python 2 will have their shebangs replaced
with /usr/bin/python. This is done for compatibility until
Python 2 goes end of life. Since only the installed versions
are changed this means Python 3 must be installed on the system
for test-runner when testing in-tree.
* Added --with-python=<2|3|3.4,etc> configure option which sets
the PYTHON environment variable to target a specific python
version. By default the newest installed version of Python
will be used or the preferred distribution version when
creating pacakges.
* Fixed --enable-pyzfs configure checks so they are run when
--enable-pyzfs=check and --enable-pyzfs=yes.
* Enabled pyzfs for Python 3.4 and newer, which is now supported.
* Renamed pyzfs package to python<VERSION>-pyzfs and updated to
install in the appropriate site location. For example, when
building with --with-python=3.4 a python34-pyzfs will be
created which installs in /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/.
* Renamed the following python scripts according to the Fedora
guidance for packaging utilities in /bin
- dbufstat.py -> dbufstat
- arcstat.py -> arcstat
- arc_summary.py -> arc_summary
- arc_summary3.py -> arc_summary3
* Updated python-cffi package name. On CentOS 6, CentOS 7, and
Amazon Linux it's called python-cffi, not python2-cffi. For
Python3 it's called python3-cffi or python3x-cffi.
* Install one version of arc_summary. Depending on the version
of Python available install either arc_summary2 or arc_summary3
as arc_summary. The user output is only slightly different.
