Functional Verification Test for lsb-python

Install & Setup

Download the lsb-python application package that corresponds to the LSB version and processor architecture for which certification is being sought from the Download Page.
Install package on system. Example command line:
```
rpm -ivh lsb-python-2.4.5-1.lsb4.i486.rpm
```
NOTE: Application MUST be installed without use of --nodeps option, the dependency checks are part of the test.
- Expected result: application should be installed to
```
/opt/lsb/appbat
```
Change to the python library directory:
```
cd /opt/lsb/appbat/lib/python2.4
```
Change permissions on the test directory to allow non-root write access
```
chmod 777 test
```
Create a non-root user called "python4lsb"
```
useradd -m python4lsb
```
Change to the python4lsb user to run the tests
```
su - python4lsb
```
Change to the python test directory
```
cd /opt/lsb/appbat/lib/python2.4/test
```
Move aside the pre-compiled python scripts by running the following command sequence:
```
mkdir SAVE
mv *.pyc *.pyo SAVE
```

Functional Verification Test (FVT)

Expected result
achieved? Test case scenerio

1. Yes No Run the command: /opt/lsb/appbat/bin/python -E regrtest.py -u curses | tee /tmp/python.out && reset
- Expected result: After several minutes all the tests will be completed with the results going to the /tmp/python.out file.

Yes No

Run the command: tail -n 20 /tmp/python.out to view the last twenty lines of the output file.
- Expected result: There should not be any test failures and the bottom lines of the output file should look something like this (the precise list of skips is not critical).

256 tests OK.
35 tests skipped:
    test_aepack test_al test_applesingle test_bsddb185 test_bsddb3
    test_cd test_cl test_codecmaps_cn test_codecmaps_hk
    test_codecmaps_jp test_codecmaps_kr test_codecmaps_tw test_curses
    test_gl test_imgfile test_ioctl test_largefile test_linuxaudiodev
    test_macfs test_macostools test_nis test_normalization

    test_socket_ssl test_socketserver test_sunaudiodev test_tcl
    test_timeout test_urllib2net test_urllibnet test_winreg
    test_winsound
2 skips unexpected on linux2:
    test_tcl test_ioctl

Results

1.	Yes No	Were there any errors recorded above?
2.	Yes No	Were there any deviations in the install, setup, or test described above? If yes, please describe.

Cleanup

Restore the original pre-compiled python scripts by running the following command sequence:
```
cd /opt/lsb/appbat/lib/python2.4/test
rm -f *.pyc *.pyo
mv SAVE/* .
rmdir SAVE
```
(Note: in the mv command, the final argument is a dot)
Remove the test output file from the /tmp directory by running the following command:
```
rm /tmp/python.out
```
Exit from the python4lsb login session
```
exit
```
Remove the python4lsb user and its home directory
```
userdel -r python4lsb
```
Restore the original permissions to the python test directory
```
chmod 755 /opt/lsb/appbat/lib/python2.4/test
```

Reporting Test Results

Include the results of testing this application in the Conformance Statement submitted to the LSB Certification Authority when seeking LSB Runtime Environment Certification. Note this is not a submittable form, instead you affirm on the certification form that you have followed these steps.
