[devel at bb.net] Need a Python 3 enabled builder for buildbot.test

[Pierre Tardy]

Hi Craig,
You are part of the buildbot team now. You could have added that test
yourself. The nine.buildbot.net CI is configured via the .bbtravis.yml file.

Until now, we didn't have a clear status of what passes, and what does not
pass.

So it is not realistic to ask people to try python3 as well unless we have
a clear PASS/FAIL status of whether there is a regression or not.
We can't just stare at the results of bwverbose and figure out manually if
the failing tests are new of not.

I created this script in order to get that status automatically.
https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/pull/2720

I hope this will help us to be more efficient at not introducing py3
regression.
You will need to re-run the script from time to time to update the while
list. Maybe not for each of your small PRs, as this might introduce
unnecessary merge conflicts.


Pierre
