Recent change [1] to remove python27 from images caused issues across jobs still using python 2.7 There are a lot of projects failing due to that. [2] The solution is to update bindep.txt [3] The fix was discussed with the #opendev team and can be summarized as follows. [4]
``` 15:37 I think we have ~3 options: A) revert/or readd python2-dev installs B) ask projects to fix their broken bindep.txts (something we've asked for for years at this point) or C) update -py27 jobs to explicitly install python2 for you ``` [...]
We also merged https://review.opendev.org/873020 about twenty minutes ago, so as of 22:12:13 any jobs inheriting from openstack-tox-py27 will automatically install the python and python-dev (old Python 2.7) packages.
But definitely still put Python interpreters in your bindep.txt files, they're useful if for no other reason than to indicate to anyone looking at the file that your project needs those.
+1 on doing it in a central place as we need this job for <=stable/train only which seems moving toward EOL. -gmann
