A collection of Python utilities.
Use a virtualenv for development. For example, install kobo and dependencies in editable mode:
virtualenv ~/kobo-dev
. ~/kobo-dev/bin/activate
pip install --editable ~/src/kobo
pip install -rtest-requirements.txt
To run the test suite:
- Run
py.testto run tests against installed versions of python and dependencies, or... - Install and run
toxto run test suite against a matrix of supported python and Django versions (more thorough, slower).
Please submit pull requests against https://github.com/release-engineering/kobo.
- Fixed a crash bug in
LoggingThreadwhen mixing bytes and text.
- Added methods to
HubProxyfor explicitly logging into hub.
- Many compatibility fixes for modern Python and Django versions.
- Fixed loss of error details when
LoggingThreadfails.
- Improved Django 4.x compatibility
kobo.rpmlib.get_keys_from_headernow correctly handles RPMs using header-only signing. Also fixespkgset.SimpleRpmWrapper.signature.
- kobo workers now maintain a
last_seenfield which may be used to monitor the availability of workers.
- The
resubmit-tasksnow supports adjusting the priority of the resubmitted task. The client and server must both upgrade to kobo 0.19.0 in order to use this feature.
- Fixed backwards-incompatible change in kobo 0.18.0: if a kobo-derived client
provided its own
--profileargument, this could clash with the new argument in kobo.
- The kobo client now supports a
--profileargument to select an alternative configuration file. To enable this functionality, users of kobo should provide adefault_profileandconfiguration_directorywhen creating aCommandOptionParser.
- Fixed a python3 compatibility issue in kobo.http.
- Fixed a crash bug for projects using the default
XMLRPC_TEMPLATEfor the XML-RPC help page with Django > 1.
- Introduced the concept of global variables to
kobo.conf.PyConfigParser. This feature allows a variable to be declared in one file and overridden in a subsequently imported file.
- The
client.get_worker_infoXML-RPC method no longer requires authentication. It was formerly restricted to superusers only.
- The HubProxy auto_logout feature was removed. This feature was unreliable and
could occasionally result in deadlocks, due to the usage of finalizers.
It is recommended to call
logout()from afinallyblock in cases where it's important to ensure a logout.
- Fixed a Django 1.x compatibility issue introduced in kobo 0.15.0
- Improved Django 3.x compatibility
- Introduced
gssapilogin method, for improved Python3 compatibility. This login method requires the hub'skrb5loginendpoint to be enabled. The default login method is unchanged.

- Improved Django 1.11 compatibility
- Improved Django 1.11 and 2.x compatibility

- Fixed various Python 3 compatibility issues
- Improved Python 3 compatibility, particularly in xmlrpc and rpmlib modules
- Improved Django 1.11 and 2.x compatibility
- Testing of Python 2.6 has been dropped; some kobo functionality still works with Python 2.6, but may break without warning in later releases
- Support for Django 1.6 has been removed
- Fixed LoggingThread on Python 3 (#66)
- Fixed

- worker load no longer includes assigned but unstarted tasks
- pkgset.SimpleRpmWrapper has now checksum_type member
- threads.run_in_threads helper function
Django part of kobo was udpated to be compatible with 1.5 release. Lower version are no more supported. As a side-effect, only python 2.6+ is supported by django part.
From same reason there will be no builds of kobo-django package for RHEL 5 and lower as it lacks required python version.
- RemoteUserMiddleware is now used for KrbV authentication
- LimitedRemoreUserMiddleware can be used to authenticate only on entry pages.
- LongnameUser model is used for auth backend. It allows 255 characters long user names (as they come from KrbV)
- Class-based generic views ExtraListView and ExtraDetailView. object_list helper stays for compatibility, but it is deprecated now and will be removed in future.
- State machine implementation - StateEnum, db field, form fields
- Brand new HTML template, media, views, urls and menu
- Menu supports django.root
- Task logs, javascript log watcher, threaded worker stdout logger
- XML-RPC help pages display list of contents
- Kerberos support in CookieTransport
- JSONField to store dicts and lists in database
- Add relative_path() and split_path() functions to shortcuts
file_name attribute renamed to file_path. file_name is now a property which returns actual file name.
Action: Change file_name to file_path in your code.
Username hack is enabled by default now (when kobo.django.auth is used). It changes username to 255 characters and also overrides validation RE.
Action: On postgresql run: ALTER TABLE auth_user ALTER username TYPE VARCHAR(255); Sqlite users have to use db_update-0.2.0-0.3.0 script.
Each worker's name must match it's FQDN now. This prevents cut&paste configuration errors when tasks end in INTERRUPTED state.
Action: Change worker names to FQDN. Change related usernames as well.
Removed 'lower_case' attribute. Plugins are now subclassed when a container is created. Each plugin now contains 'container' attribute.
Action: Remove 'lower_case' attribute from plugins, do whatever is necessary in 'normalize_name() class method instead.
- Improve PluginContainer inheritance. Also add 'container' attribute to each plugin class obtained from a container instance. (Daniel Mach)
- Plugins are now subclassed when a container is created. (Daniel Mach)
Field 'traceback' moved to a file (traceback.log). Field 'result' content dumped to a file (stdout.log), it is supposed to contain actual task result. Field 'args' changed to JSONField and data is directly available without any conversion.
Action: Run db_update-0.2.0-0.3.0 script.
Configuration no longer uses os.environ to get config file path. ClientCommandContainer, HubProxy and TaskManager constructor has a new mandatory 'conf' argument.
Action: config_file = os.environ.get("<PROJECT_NAME>_CONFIG_FILE", "/etc/<project_name>.conf") conf = kobo.conf.PyConfigParser() conf.load_from_file(config_file) ... and pass conf to ClientCommandContainer, HubProxy or TaskManager
TaskBase constructor has now a mandatory argument 'conf', which is automatically set in TaskManager.
Action: Add 'conf' argument to tasks classes with custom constructor.
