+Subject: [PATCH] vmbus_testing: fix wrong python syntax for integer value
+ comparison
+
+RH-Author: Ani Sinha <None>
+RH-MergeRequest: 6: vmbus_testing: fix wrong python syntax for interger value comparison
+RH-Bugzilla: 2218931
+RH-Acked-by: Miroslav Rezanina <mrezanin@redhat.com>
+RH-Commit: [1/1] 2887e0ad51a16a499ebdeac29f3086c8be481e0c (anisinha/centos-hyperv-daemons)
+
+It is incorrect in python to compare integer values using the "is" keyword. The
+"is" keyword in python is used to compare references to two objects, not their
+values. Newer version of python3 (version 3.8) throws a warning when such
+incorrect comparison is made. For value comparison, "==" should be used.
+
+Fix this in the code and suppress the following warning:
+
+/usr/sbin/vmbus_testing:167: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
