python3-testing

This repo contains code to test python3. It does this by cloning the cpython source code, building it and running the tests. Then the binary specified by the INSTALL_BIN argument is installed into the test harness, and testing happens a 2nd time. The docker build completes successfully if both tests pass the same number of tests.

Arguments

The arguments to docker file are:

• BASE_TAG -- The docker image you want to test python3 in. If this image is in a private repo, you'll need to docker login to that repo for docker to pull the image.
• INSTALL_BIN -- The path in that docker image that contains the python binary.
  This can be a full path such as /usr/local/bin/python3 or a entry in the path variable such as python.
  The docker file will use which $INSTALL_BIN to locate the program.

Example of building the image:

docker build --build-arg BASE_TAG=python:latest --build-arg INSTALL_BIN=python3 .  # passing test.
docker build --build-arg BASE_TAG=ubuntu:22.04 --build-arg INSTALL_BIN=python3 .  # failing test
