Port test scripts to python3 (keep python2 compatibility) #284

Closed juliogonzalez closed 3 years ago

juliogonzalez commented 3 years ago

There was a question at https://github.com/tds-fdw/tds_fdw/pull/282#issuecomment-826546435 about python3 compatibility for the test scripts.

Fact is, python2 is EoL upstream, but not at CentOS7 (where it's the default python).

Still, we should add compatibility for python3, so people can test on modern systems.

Tasks:

[x] Build containers for an Ubuntu version that ships python3 by default
[x] Add them to the CI, but only for the "free" job.
[x] Port the script to python3, test compatibility with python2 (CentOS7)
[x] Merge the changes
