The test code looks nice and simple. However, I don't think putting some of the code in a class helps much (it doesn't hurt either). What do you think about this alternative, replacing from 'watcher = ...': server = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) server.bind(('', 12323)) server.listen(1) end_time = time.time() + float(params.get("timeout", 3000)) while True: server.settimeout(end_time - time.time()) try: (client, addr) = server.accept() except socket.timeout: server.close() raise error.TestFail('Timeout elapsed while waiting for install to ' 'finish.') msg = client.recv(1024) logging.debug("Received '%s' from %s", msg, addr) if msg == 'done': logging.info('Guest reported successful installation') server.close() break else: logging.error('Got invalid string from client: %s.' % msg) It's not necessarily shorter, but I find it a bit simpler. The only meaningful difference here is the timeout handling. In your original code, if a client sends anything other than 'done' (very unlikely), the server will wait another 3000 secs. With this code, the server will wait up to a total of 'timeout' secs (user specified). I find this code short and simple enough to leave outside a class, but it's a matter of personal preference, so it's up to you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues" <lmr@xxxxxxxxxx> To: autotest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, dhuff@xxxxxxxxxx, "Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues" <lmr@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, August 4, 2009 1:38:50 AM (GMT+0200) Auto-Detected Subject: [PATCH 2/6] KVM test: Introducing unattended install subtest In order to resolve the question, 'how will the guest operating system tell the host operating system that the unattended install process finish', we took the simple approach and created a simple socket communication ack process: The test instantiates a server tcp socket on port 12323, and waits during a specified amount of time. For guests, the vast majority of the unattended install processes can deal with executing commands at the end of the install process. Let's take advantage of that and make clients tell the server about the end of the process using simple programs that can do that. The implementation of that strategy varies trough different operating systems. This is the kvm test implementation code, client programs will follow on later patches.
