A stray trailing comma made the update detail a one element tuple, so a
firmware error printed as a python tuple. A missing status printed the whole
response dict. A failure that named no node was dropped entirely, which is how
a service data request that the server refused came out as silence and a
success exit code, and nodestorage, nodelicense and nodesupport exited zero
even when they had reported an error.
nodeconsole crashed decoding an absent screenshot, and again on the terminal
calls behind a pipe, where a log replay crashed too; refuse the terminal only
modes cleanly and dump the log when there is no terminal to replay into.
nodedefine raised a ValueError on an argument without an equals sign, and
firmware for a category the target does not describe printed usage as though
the question had been malformed.
On the server side the readability check was applied to the path a download is
saved to, so asking for service data or saved licences at a path that does not
exist yet failed claiming the destination was not readable.
RHEL8 will no longer tolerate implicit use of python.
For now relent to being python2, though ideally one day
it could be either.
Unfortunately, this means once code is ready for python3, we have to
probably implement build time changes for python3 enabled distros
to have different shebangs than python2 distros.
