Update the python tests to also check QAPI and the QAPI Sphinx
extensions. The docs/sphinx/qapidoc_legacy.py file is not included in
these checks, as it is destined for removal soon. mypy is also not
called on the QAPI Sphinx extensions, owing to difficulties supporting
Sphinx 3.x - 8.x while maintaining static type checking support. mypy
*is* called on all of the QAPI tools themselves, though.
flake8, isort and mypy use the tool configuration from the existing
python directory (in setup.cfg). pylint continues to use the special
configuration located in scripts/qapi/ - that configuration is more
permissive. If we wish to unify the two configurations, that's a
separate series and a discussion for a later date.
The list of pylint ignores is also updated, owing again to the wide
window of pylint version support: newer versions require pragmas to
occasionally silence the "too many positional arguments" warning, but
older versions do not have such a warning category and will instead yelp
about an unrecognized option. Silence that warning, too.
As a result of this patch, one would be able to run any of the following
tests locally from the qemu.git/python directory and have it cover the
QAPI tooling as well. All of the following options run the python tests,
static analysis tests, and linter checks; but with different
combinations of dependencies and interpreters.
- "make check-minreqs" Run tests specifically under our oldest supported
Python and our oldest supported dependencies. This is the test that
runs on GitLab as "check-python-minreqs". This helps ensure we do not
regress support on older platforms accidentally.
- "make check-tox" Runs the tests under the newest supported
dependencies, but under each supported version of Python in turn. At
time of writing, this is Python 3.8 to 3.13 inclusive. This test helps
catch bleeding-edge problems before they become problems for developer
workstations. This is the GitLab test "check-python-tox" and is an
optionally run, may-fail test due to the unpredictable nature of new
dependencies being released into the ecosystem that may cause
regressions.
- "make check-dev" Runs the tests under the newest supported
dependencies using whatever version of Python the user happens to have
installed. This is a quick convenience check that does not map to any
particular GitLab test.
(Note! check-dev may be busted on Fedora 41 and bleeding edge versions
of setuptools. That's unrelated to this patch and I'll address it
separately and soon. Thank you for your patience, --mgmt)
Finally, finally, finally: this means that QAPI tooling will be linted
and type-checked from the GitLab pipelines.

Using `pylint --generate-rcfile > pylintrc`, generate a skeleton
pylintrc file. Sections that are not presently relevant (by the end of
this series) are removed leaving just the empty section as a search
engine / documentation hint to future authors.
I am targeting pylint 2.6.0. In the future (and hopefully before 5.2 is
released), I aim to have gitlab CI running the specific targeted
versions of pylint, mypy, flake8, etc in a job.
2.5.x will work if you additionally pass --disable=bad-whitespace.
This warning was removed from 2.6.x, for lack of consistent support.
Right now, quite a few modules are ignored as they are known to fail as
of this commit. modules will be removed from the known-bad list
throughout this and following series as they are repaired.
Note: Normally, pylintrc would go in the folder above the module, but as
that folder is shared by many things, it is going inside the module
folder (for now). Due to a bug in pylint 2.5+, pylint does not
correctly recognize when it is being run from "inside" a package, and
must be run *outside* of the package.
Therefore, to run it, you must:
> pylint scripts/qapi/ --rcfile=scripts/qapi/pylintrc
