Question about test suite

[hpreusse]

I noticed that is a file pssh/test/test.py, which I assume some kind of test suite. I tried to run in and got an error message using python 3.9:

hille@debian-amd64-sid:~/devel/pssh/pssh.git$ python3 test/test.py
  File "/home/hille/devel/pssh/pssh.git/test/test.py", line 279
    print cmd
          ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(cmd)?

I don't know python at all, but after changing the file as suggested the error message is gone.

Then I had to define 2 env vars TEST_HOSTS & TEST_USER and now the call prints something like

hille@debian-amd64-sid:~/devel/pssh/pssh.git$ python3 test/test.py
The authenticity of host '127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:0AtcX02pfNoUbB4bwRkVpwab2HhlbvAQ/bo4pnqIJW0.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
Warning: Permanently added '127.0.0.1' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
EEEEEEEEEEE

ERROR: testLongOpts (__main__.PsshTest)

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/tempfile.py", line 613, in func_wrapper
    return func(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Still I do now get how to use that unit test. Would be nice if the useage could be documened anywhere. Many thanks!

It's old Python 2 code. They won't work in Python 3.
