Description Mathieu Dubois-Briand 2026-09-10 07:28:15 UTC 
We recently started to use bitbake-selftest with "--durations=0" parameter, but the --duration parameter support on unittest python module was introduced in python 3.12. As a consequence, this fails on workers using an older python version.
