[jira] [Comment Edited] (BEAM-8152) Provide a way to better control
minor+patch versions of Python 3.x interpreters used to run Beam tests
locally and on Jenkins.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Current Jenkins installation is missing python3.7-venv, which does not allow python3.7 -m venv ... syntax. I i'll try to add this package while adding Py3.9 bits.

> Key: BEAM-8152
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-8152
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: sdk-py-core, testing
> Reporter: Valentyn Tymofieiev
> Priority: P3
>
> Currently, Beam Python test infrastructure does not provide fine-grained way to control Python interpreter version. The major+minor version are typically selected by virtual environment, and the patch version of interpreter is defined by the version of python package available on machine that is running the tests.
> For example, Jenkins ubuntu-based machines, use Python 3.5.2 for python 3.5 test suites, while debian-based SDK harness containers for Python 3.5 come with Python 3.5.6, and the python3.5 package available on my dev machine is Python 3.5.4.
> Throughout development of Python 3.5.x, Cpython implementation details that have changed in and these changes affect certain codepaths in Beam, such as type inference.
>
> When we encounter such issues, it is difficult for Beam developers to test their changes against a particular patch version of Python interpreter both remotely and locally. Opening this issue to make it simpler.
> cc: [~markflyhigh] [~yifanzou] [~udim] [~altay] who may have opinions and ideas about how to make this simpler.
> Note that there are separate questions:
> 1) which patch versions of Python we should test against on Jenkins
> 2) which patch versions of Python Beam should claim to support.
> Regardless of the answers to those questions, we may want to make it easier for an engineer to run a test suite against a particular patch version of Python, and/or make it easier to switch which patch version is used by Jenkins.
