* module compat for py3.8+ controller
* replaced internal usages of selinux bindings with internal ctypes binding (allows basic selinux operations from any Python interpreter), plus tests
* added new respawn_module API to allow modules to import Python packages that are only available under a well-known interpreter, plus tests
* added respawn logic to modules that need Python libs from a specific system interpreter (apt, apt_repository, dnf, yum)
minimize internal HAVE_SELINUX usage
spurious junk
pep8
* pylint fixes
* add RHEL8 Python 3.8 testing
* more pylint
* import sanity
* unit tests
* changelog update
* fix a bunch of stuff
* tweak changelog
* fix setup_rpm_repo on EL8
* misc sanity/test fixes
* misc feedback tweaks
* fix import fallback in test module
* fix selinux MU test
* fix dnf tests to avoid python-dependent test packages
* add trailing LFs to aliases
* fix yum tests to avoid test package with Python deps
* hack create_repo for EL6 to create noarch package
* Move check_type_str() out of basic.py
* Move check_type_list() out of basic.py
* Move safe_eval() out of basic.py
* Move check_type_dict() out of basic.py
* Move json importing code to common location
* Move check_type_bool() out of basic.py
* Move _check_type_int() out of basic.py
* Move _check_type_float() out of basic.py
* Move _check_type_path() out of basic.py
* Move _check_type_raw() out of basic.py
* Move _check_type_bytes() out of basic.py
* Move _check_type_bits() out of basic.py
* Create text.formatters.py
Move human_to_bytes, bytes_to_human, and _lenient_lowercase out of basic.py into text.formatters.py
Change references in modules to point to function at new location
* Move _check_type_jsonarg() out of basic.py
* Rename json related functions and put them in common.text.converters
Move formatters.py to common.text.formatters.py and update references in modules.
* Rework check_type_str()
Add allow_conversion option to make the function more self-contained.
Move the messaging back to basic.py since those error messages are more relevant to using this function in the context of AnsibleModule and not when using the function in isolation.
* Add unit tests for type checking functions
* Change _lenient_lowercase to lenient_lowercase per feedback
* Move ansible.compat.tests to test/units/compat/.
* Fix unit test references to ansible.compat.tests.
* Move builtins compat to separate file.
* Fix classification of test/units/compat/ dir.
* Remove use of simplejson throughout code base. Fixes#42761
* Address failing tests
* Remove simplejson from contrib and other outlying files
* Add changelog fragment for simplejson removal
Split the one monolithic test for basic.py into several files
* Split test_basic.py along categories.
This is preliminary to get a handle on things. Eventually we may want
to further split it so each file is only testing a single function.
* Cleanup unused imports from splitting test_basic.py
* Port atomic_move test to pytest.
Working on getting rid of need to maintain procenv
* Split a test of symbolic_mode_to_octal to follow unittest best practices
Each test should only invoke the function under test once
* Port test_argument_spec to pytest.
* Fix suboptions failure
