1471919 - For raptor tp6 on windows use existing python 3.6.x instead of our python 3 tooltool package

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Raptor, defect, P2)

Description

[Robert Wood [:rwood]]

Mitmproxy on windows requires python 3.6.x and we currently use our custom py3 package on tooltool, and setup a virtualenv with that - and install mitmproxy there.

Python 3.6.x is available on the windows raptor/talos test hardware (see Bug 1471611).

Instead of using our py3 tooltool package, try creating the virtualenv using the existing py 3.6.x executable at C:\mozilla-build\python3\python.exe.

Also note that py3 is required now to build Firefox locally as well, so maybe we can use the local py3 as well when running raptor tp6 locally.

Note: We may be able to close this depending on the outcome of Bug 1520447.

Comment 2

[Florin Strugariu [:Bebe]]

We added mitmproxy 2.0.2 windows executable to run raptor tests in Bug 1520447.

Because of this using the existing python 3.x package is not required.
