I think you tested perf/core, that has Tony's fix to make 'perf test perf_event_attr'
work with both python2 and python3, right?

While I was having that failure with perf/urgent.

I just cherry-picked:

commit 35ea7e4bbb89ecd32057f5f6a2a8feb0d7224e51
Author: Tony Jones <tonyj@suse.de>
Date:   Wed Jan 23 16:52:29 2019 -0800

    perf script python: Add Python3 support to tests/attr.py


----------------------

And now my perf/urgent branch passes that 'perf test' entry with both
python2 and 3.
