Summary

When attempting to run the RTEMS tester with Python 3.13, these error messages are produced:

.../rtems-tools/tester/rt/test.py:76: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\\['
status_regx = re.compile('^\\[\\s*\\d+/\\s*\\d+\\] p:.+')
.../rtems-tools/tester/rt/test.py:188: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\\.'
norun = re.compile('.*\\.norun.*')
Incorrect RTEMS Tools installation

This was tested on the 6.1 branch, but there appear to be no changes to main that would have fixed this.

This issue also includes the telnetlib issue.

On further investigation, this is 2 separate issues. The escapes need to be fixed to resolve the warnings and the actual exit is caused by missing telnetlib since it was deprecated in 3.11 and removed in 3.13.

On debian systems, there is currently a workaround for the actual exit issue by installing python3-zombie-telnetlib.

The current state of telnetlib isn’t great I don’t think there are any maintained ones. This one is its own project but no activity from the maintainer in years: https://github.com/jquast/telnetlib3

The Python one was just removed there is nobody touching the code anymore which is why they called it ‘zombie’ .. apt name.

telnetlib3 is at least installable via pypi. I’m not sure if it’s a drop in replacement does it work can you try it out?

FreeBSD for example has no telnet library for python available and I’m sure that’s true for most OS the Python project itself recommends either telnetlib3 or Exscript which is even more out of maintainership

telnetlib3 appears to be a mostly drop-in replacement (s/telnetlib/telnetlib3/g), but I don’t have an example of a tester configuration that actually uses it, so I can’t verify that functionality completely.

Ah, I do actually have a test configuration that I can verify this on. It’ll probably have to wait until Monday.

The situation has been improved by 0efe888 in that the reason for exit is displayed. This still needs work to verify the migration path to telnetlib3.

This is issue cover two problem. We need to split it as the syntax issue has been fixed and we should close this issue.
