[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/1] QMP test code - qmp.py

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/1] QMP test code - qmp.py

[Costas Drogos]

Hello there,

a very small patch to address two small issues:

1) The json state in python2.5 and python2.6. json module is included
by default on python2.6, whereas you have to import simplejson in
python2.5. I have this problem on Debian testing, so feel free to test
if this is applicable in your distribution.

2) For qmp commands to work (e.g. query-kvm) we have to give first the
command 'qmp_capabilities' because monitor is in 'Capabilities
Negotiation mode' on startup. The patch takes care of issuing that
command immediately after connecting.

The patch is more of a hack to ease qmp testing and development.

 I already have a new version of that script in the master branch of:

	git://repo.or.cz/qemu/qmp-unstable.git

 It fixes current problems and has other improvements, I didn't submit
it yet because I didn't test it much.

 So, I will add a fix for the json problem and would appreciate any testing.

 This won't do what we want for 2.7 and newer, so a better if would be:

if sys.version_info < (2, 6):
    import simplejson as json
else:
    import json

try:
     import json
except:
     import simplejson as json

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.

Thats why i said it is just an ugly hack :) Anyway, I've just cloned
the qmp-unstable tree to run some tests and report back

I thought of that, but the thing is that, in Debian at least, there is
python-json for python 2.5 which does not work, but can be imported,
and also python-simplejson. On python2.6 json module is included and
there is a package python2.6-simplejson also. Anyway, we can't check
what every distribution does with modules, so I think Avi's solution
works most of the times. In the end it is just a test script :)

Thanks for the comments :)
