Description Nehal J Wani 2017-12-25 06:39:06 UTC
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.7.14-2


Steps to Reproduce:

~/Downloads ❯❯❯ python2 -c "import test.test_support"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/test/test_support.py", line 2, in <module>
    import test.support
ImportError: No module named support


Actual results: Import fails


Expected results: Import should succeed


Additional info:
From python 2.7.14 changelog:
    - bpo-30207: To simplify backports from Python 3, the test.test_support
      module was converted into a package and renamed to test.support.  The
      test.script_helper module was moved into the test.support package.
      Names test.test_support and test.script_helper are left as aliases to
      test.support and test.support.script_helper.


ArchLinux doesn't have this problem:

[nwani@centos7 ~]$ sudo docker run --rm -it base/archlinux
[root@8a83fd9e5514 /]# pacman -Syu python2
[root@8a83fd9e5514 /]# python2 -c "import test.test_support"
[root@8a83fd9e5514 /]#

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2017-12-25 20:10:14 UTC
The test module is packaged as python2-test in Fedora (as most of the users don't need it and it has almost the same size as the rest of the standard library (packaged as python2-libs).

If you dnf install python2-test, all mentioned modules work:


$ python2
Python 2.7.14 (default, Dec 11 2017, 14:52:53) 
[GCC 7.2.1 20170915 (Red Hat 7.2.1-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import test.test_support
>>> import test.support
>>> import test.script_helper
>>> import test.support.script_helper
>>> 


However, as I wondered why /usr/lib64/python2.7/test/test_support.py is in python2-libs and /usr/lib64/python2.7/test/support/ is in python2-test, I see from the specfile that test.test_support was deliberately in python2-libs.

We should move test.support as well. Thanks for the report.
