This enforces our use of a consistent style in how we access Python
modules; "from os.path import dirname" is a particularly popular
abbreviation inconsistent with our style, and so it deserves a lint
rule.
Commit message and error text tweaked by tabbott.
Fixes#6543.
This causes `upgrade-zulip-from-git`, as well as a no-option run of
`tools/build-release-tarball`, to produce a Zulip install running
Python 3, rather than Python 2. In particular this means that the
virtualenv we create, in which all application code runs, is Python 3.
One shebang line, on `zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces`, explicitly
keeps Python 2, and at least one external ops script, `wal-e`, also
still runs on Python 2. See discussion on the respective previous
commits that made those explicit. There may also be some other
third-party scripts we use, outside of this source tree and running
outside our virtualenv, that still run on Python 2.
This helps make the Zulip development environment somewhat more robust
to new contributors, since it will give them a nice warning if they
try running any of our development tools outside the Zulip virtualenv.
Fixes#3468.
This lets us cut out the line which hard-codes how deeply nested in
the tree the `run-mypy` script is, making it simpler to borrow these
scripts in other projects.
Previously lister.py used to check whether the exclude path is a
substring of a path being considered. So it would fail when the
exclude path is an absolute path or uses '..' or '.'.
Make module tools/lister.py which lists all files in a directory
tracked by git. This is done because lister.py will be used by other
scripts in the future which have to introspect files in the repository,
like linters, static code checkers, etc.
