[Bug 1591887] Re: SRU: backport python 3.5.2 to 16.04 LTS

[Matthias Klose]

** Description changed:

  SRU: backport python 3.5.2 to 16.04 LTS
+ 
+ The idea is to ship a released version with the first point release of
+ 16.04 LTS. We updated python3.5 from the the 3.5 branch up to the final
+ 3.5.2 release, and then made a test rebuild of the archive using the new
+ python3.5 (and some other toolchain packages).
+ 
+ The test rebuild was done using the release candidate of 3.5.2, however
+ the only changes between the rc and the final release are Windows
+ related, and include one change in the idle lib, plus a fix for a ssl
+ test case which was already present as a local patch in the Ubuntu
+ package. From my point of view we don't need another test rebuild.
+ 
+ The evaluation of the test rebuild is found in LP: #1586673. There are
+ some issues found and/or left:
+ 
+  - nuitka (a python compiler) fails in the tests, fixed by updating
+    to the nuitka version in yakkety, tracked in LP: #1599240.
+ 
+  - python-websockets fail in the tests. This is now
+    https://bugs.debian.org/829726 and
+    https://github.com/aaugustin/websockets/issues/123
+    From my point of view this looks like an issue with the test case.
+ 
+  - urwid fails two tests on ppc64el and s390x.

Bug description:
  SRU: backport python 3.5.2 to 16.04 LTS

  The idea is to ship a released version with the first point release of
  16.04 LTS. We updated python3.5 from the the 3.5 branch up to the
  final 3.5.2 release, and then made a test rebuild of the archive using
  the new python3.5 (and some other toolchain packages).

  The test rebuild was done using the release candidate of 3.5.2,
  however the only changes between the rc and the final release are
  Windows related, and include one change in the idle lib, plus a fix
  for a ssl test case which was already present as a local patch in the
  Ubuntu package. From my point of view we don't need another test
  rebuild.

  The evaluation of the test rebuild is found in LP: #1586673. There are
  some issues found and/or left:

   - nuitka (a python compiler) fails in the tests, fixed by updating
     to the nuitka version in yakkety, tracked in LP: #1599240.

   - python-websockets fail in the tests. This is now
     https://bugs.debian.org/829726 and
     https://github.com/aaugustin/websockets/issues/123
     From my point of view this looks like an issue with the test case.

   - urwid fails two tests on ppc64el and s390x.
