826116 - Run B2G mozharness tests using Python 2.7

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Griffin (:jgriffin)]

We need to run B2G mozharness tests on Python 2.7 so that our tweaks to unittest work consistently (ala bug 803254).  I believe that Python 2.7 is already installed on the slaves, so this is probably just a matter of updating the relevant mozharness configs to point to the right Python.

We're currently using this:

    "exes": {
        'python': '/tools/buildbot/bin/python',
        'virtualenv': ['/tools/buildbot/bin/python', '/tools/misc-python/virtualenv.py'],
        'tooltool.py': "/tools/tooltool.py",
    },

Aki, what should those values be for Python 2.7 on the linux 32 slaves?  We can test this out on ash (mozharness try) as soon as bug 826026 is closed.

IIRC, we have python 2.6 or 2.7 on all test slaves.
We're already pointing at the newest.

Bug 724191 tracks installing and using 2.7[.3, I believe] everywhere.

I think we're already doing this.

I think linux is good. I'm not sure about OSX.
