The upstream repository definitely has tests. Please fix.
rpyc is about interaction of python programs on different computers; tests, naturally, use localhost everywhere. Many tests start server processes listening on localhost:18878, start clients and check if they can communicate. Are such tests allowed in src_test()? Some tests need sshd running and assume that ssh localhost requires no password. Such tests should be disabled, I suppose. A strange observation: when I run all test filesone-by-one as python test_foo.py they all succeed (with running sshd). But if I use pytest (or nosetests) in the package directory, some tests fail (or hang). Seems different tests interfere somehow.
One more question, sorry. Some tests are run only if some external packages are installed (e.g., numpy, pandas, gevent, even gdb). What should I do? 1. Allow this automagic behavior 2. Disable all such tests 3. Introduce a bunch of USE flags to DEPEND on these packages if FEATURES=test
Starting local servers on localhost is fine. The general idea is that if it works with FEATURES=network-sandbox, it's fine. Tests relying on system sshd should be disabled indeed. Well, unless you can start some kind of local sshd and direct it to use it, preferably some kind of fake/honeypot sshd, so that we don't accidentally open up network access to the build account. It is possible that not all tests are run when you run the files directly. Try running pytest on each file separately and see what happens. Optional test deps are fine. Generally hard test-depend on them, so that all tests are actually run while arch-testing and people get reproducible results. If something is not packaged, ignore it.
