Notable Changes:
-Convert all str types to byte types at cython layer (ascii encoding)
-Use six for packages that have different names in Python2/Python3
-By default, unit tests are compiled/run in Python2.7 and Python3.4
-Ensure MACOSX_BUILD_TARGET is at least 10.7
Before it was possible for precompiled binaries of the Cython layer to
be downloaded during a test run if the metadata of the host machine's
gRPC Python project matched the metadata of a file in cloud storage. Now
we disallow this, and fix a bug where the relevant environment variable
was ineffectual.
This reorganizes the Python code, scraps the current testing
infrastructure, and implements a simple test discovery and run script
based on the standard Python unittest library so we can trust that our
tests are running.
Adds the initial reference implementation for health-checking in gRPC
Python as a separate project (but within the same grpc package to keep
namespaces consistent). Only installs the package to test the
build-proto-modules custom command introduced in the health-checking
project.
Also set up environment-related details needed for a smooth Cython
experience: have the test script avoid rebuilding all dependencies if the
virtualenv directory already exists, have the PyPI distribution script
distribute the Cython generated C code rather than the .pyx files.
There may be a way to use third_party's protobuf (and this
may eventually be necessary) but I haven't yet figured out
how to do it correctly. It can happen later.
The source code is moved from src/python to
src/python/src. A setup.py is added at
src/python. The build_python.sh and
run_python.sh scripts are updated to build
and run the Python tests by building a
package and installing it in the developer's
Python 2.7 virtual environment.
