oe-selftest python 3 error log from autobuilder

https://gist.github.com/bartosh/a2aedb3c7942ffc6e55e797ee744249a are hacks Ed had when looking at this. The sorted() one may be correct, the glob one isn't correct.

Branch [1] solves 'most' of the issues originally reported.

Some comments:

1. the python3-curses need to be installed in other to pass the following tests:
test_devtool_modify_invalid (oeqa.selftest.devtool.DevtoolTests). This documentation may impact the reference manual [4].

2. there is another issue observed [2], observed from buildbot [3] but not when the test is run manually from the AB. Currently under investigation

Ignore this comment. I am seeing the problem even with the python3-curses installed. The root cause is something different.

Hi, 

Is there still a documentation component to this bug?  Comment 3 indicated such but then Comment 4 basically nixed that idea.  So, can I (or someone) set the doc flag to "No" is applicable?

thanks 
Scott

Scott, this bug will not generate doc changes. The thing that Leo saw was that his machine was missing the python-curses package but such requirement is already covered at the 'Build Host Packages'[1] section of the mega manual.

Thanks Benjamin for reseting the flag.

Pass in latest AB builds:
