Description Pavel Holica 2017-10-26 11:45:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
In past, there were accessibility libraries present in install image. Those libraries allowed automated testing of anaconda in GUI mode using dogtail.

Please add python3-pyatspi to allow GUI testing in anaconda install image using dogtail.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-26
lorax-26.8-1.fc26

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In anaconda install image run python3
2. >>> import pyatspi

Actual results:
# python3
Python 3.6.1 (default, Jun 27 2017, 14:35:15)
[GCC 7.1.1 20170622 (Red Hat 7.1.1-3)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pyatspi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyatspi'

Expected results:
# python3
Python 3.6.1 (default, Jun 27 2017, 14:35:15)
[GCC 7.1.1 20170622 (Red Hat 7.1.1-3)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pyatspi
>>>

Additional info:
The dogtail support was introduced by commit
755f23baadf7ff30c186eea5b45bdaeffc3e86ce

The dogtail support was removed by commit 31c6f40c7b331e711360d7b068df28f9cbbae12a due to bug 726743

We're testing GUI with custom updates image which has dogtail (architecture independent python module) inside, but we need pyatspi (architecture dependent python module) in anaconda environment in order to be able to use dogtail for automated anaconda GUI testing.
Comment 1 Pavel Holica 2017-10-26 11:58:57 UTC 
One correction: I just found out, that pyatspi is not architecture dependent.
Comment 2 Brian Lane 2017-10-26 15:42:58 UTC 
Do we really want to grow the image for something that is only testing related? Or could this be solved by using an updates.img when testing? (I'm not sure yet how much other stuff this will pull in, but I'll take a look).
Comment 3 Pavel Holica 2017-11-13 08:27:25 UTC 
The problem is, that when I tried newer (cloned git repo of) python3-pyatspi, it simply didn't work due to different versions of atspi and python3-pyatspi.

We're using one updates.img for Fedora and RHEL, so bundling pyatspi is very problematical.

Why? The versions are completely different, trying to stuff support for both into the same updates.img is just asking for problems.

The basic package appears to be fairly small, but I'm still reluctant to add something to everyone's download that's only going to be used for testing. If you're already using an updates.img for this that seems like the right things to do, but with release-specific ones, not trying to combine them.

Ok, so there's little confusion here. The think, we do, is not modifying anaconda or anything else (with one exception) on the system at all. What we're doing is having our code driving anaconda via ATK (using dogtail and pyatspi). Our code lives in /opt and there's one systemd unit (the exception) which launches this code. The code doesn't depend on python version or anything else on the host system but needs pyatspi which is needs to match version of atspi on the system (or at least some it's API).

That could be also done, but the only reason why we would have to do it is the pyatspi package.
