[PATCH RFC 0/6] Switch iotests to pyvenv

[John Snow]

Hi, this is ... a fairly incomplete series about trying to get iotests
to run out of the configure-time venv. I'm looking for some feedback, so
out to the list it goes.

Primarily, I'm having doubts about these points:

1) I think I need something like "mkvenv install" in the first patch,
   but mkvenv.py is getting pretty long...

2) Is there a way to optimize the speed for patch #2? Maybe installing
   this package can be skipped until it's needed, but that means that
   things like iotest's ./check might get complicated to support that.

3) I cheated quite a bit in patch 4 to use the correct Python to launch
   iotests, but I'm wondering if there's a nicer way to solve this
   more *completely*.

John Snow (6):
  experiment: add mkvenv install
  build, tests: Add qemu in-tree packages to pyvenv at configure time.
  iotests: get rid of '..' in path environment output
  iotests: use the correct python to run linters
  iotests: use pyvenv/bin/python3 to launch child test processes
  iotests: don't add qemu.git/python to PYTHONPATH
