Bug description:
  [IMPACT]

  * Allow broader Ops/Eng team to consume Ansible from our packages
  instead of the upstream PyPi repositories in order to fix this
  warning.

  * Sanitize package installation:

  Setting up python3-jmespath (0.9.4-2) ...
  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/jmespath/visitor.py:32: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?

  Setting up python3-netaddr (0.7.19-3) ...
  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/netaddr/strategy/__init__.py:189: SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="?
    if word_sep is not '':

  jmespath and netaddr are 2 runtime dependencies of ansible.

  The syntaxwarning while purely cosmetic, may mislead user and their
  trust in using a sane and tested package.

  [TEST CASE]

  * Install ansible with syntax fixed of netaddr and jmespath with py3.8
  * Install ansible with syntax fixed of netaddr and jmespath with py2

  It shouldn't report any syntaxwarning after both fixes.

  Extra test case:

  ** Scenario #1 **

  $ pull-lp-source python-jmespath

  $ cd python-jmespath*

  $ python3-coverage run jmespath/visitor.py
  jmespath/visitor.py:32: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    if x is 0 or x is 1:
  jmespath/visitor.py:32: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    if x is 0 or x is 1:
  jmespath/visitor.py:34: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    elif y is 0 or y is 1:
  jmespath/visitor.py:34: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    elif y is 0 or y is 1:
  jmespath/visitor.py:260: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    if original_result is 0:

  $ quilt push -a
  Applying patch 0001-satisfy-python38-syntaxwarning.patch
  patching file jmespath/visitor.py

  $ python3-coverage run jmespath/visitor.py

  ** Scenario #2 **

  $ pull-lp-source python-jmespath

  $ cd python-jmespath*

  $ nosetests3
  /tmp/jmes/f/python-jmespath-0.9.4/jmespath/visitor.py:32: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    if x is 0 or x is 1:
  /tmp/jmes/f/python-jmespath-0.9.4/jmespath/visitor.py:32: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    if x is 0 or x is 1:
  /tmp/jmes/f/python-jmespath-0.9.4/jmespath/visitor.py:34: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    elif y is 0 or y is 1:
  /tmp/jmes/f/python-jmespath-0.9.4/jmespath/visitor.py:34: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    elif y is 0 or y is 1:
  /tmp/jmes/f/python-jmespath-0.9.4/jmespath/visitor.py:260: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    if original_result is 0:

  ** Scenario #3 **
  This could be reproduced outside python-jmespath as follows (a little script I have written to compare result between py2 and py3 :

  # reproducer_test.py
  ----
  def reproducer(x,y):
      if x is 0 or x is 1:
          return y is True or y is False
      elif y is 0 or y is 1:
          return x is True or x is False

  print(reproducer(1,0))
  print(reproducer(0,1))
  ---

  $ python2 reproducer_test.py
  False
  False

  $ python3 -W ignore reproducer_test.py
  False
  False

  $ python3 reproducer_test.py
  test.py:2: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    if x is 0 or x is 1:
  test.py:2: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    if x is 0 or x is 1:
  test.py:4: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    elif y is 0 or y is 1:
  test.py:4: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
    elif y is 0 or y is 1:
  False
  False

  With the fix in a small scale (Again, using my reproducer_test.py):

  # reproducer_test.py
  ----
  def reproducer(x,y):
  #    if x is 0 or x is 1:
       if type(x) is int and (x == 0 or x == 1):
          return y is True or y is False
  #    elif y is 0 or y is 1:
       elif type(y) is int and (y == 0 or y == 1):
          return x is True or x is False

  print(reproducer(1,0))
  print(reproducer(0,1))
  ---

  # python2 reproducer_test.py
  False
  False

  $ python3 reproducer_test.py
  False
  False

  The above proves that it maintains compatibility in py2 while fixing
  the "SyntaxWarning "in py3.

  [WHERE PROBLEM COULD OCCURS]

  Risk: Low

  * The fix maintain backward compatibility tested with
  python3-coverage/python-coverage, and python3-nose/python-nose
  manually and didn't report any problem.

  This package lack of test suite and coverage for things that could
  have been easily avoided with proper test in place. There may or may
  not be other places in other code path generating syntax warning, as
  this is not well tested I'm afraid.

  In general, looking upstream:

  * No observed regression caused by this fix in upstream issues nor in
  the Ubuntu release where the fix has landed (Focal/Hirsute).

  * No other py3.8 commits (either fix and/or regression fix) found in
  the project git log.

  [ORIGINAL DESCRIPTIONS]
  As reported upstream

  https://github.com/jmespath/jmespath.py/issues/201
  Problems installing jmespath in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

  Setting up python3-jmespath (0.9.4-2) ...
  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/jmespath/visitor.py:32: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?

  Fixed upstream in
  https://github.com/jmespath/jmespath.py/commit/56263b84cdb0feb7c8d54e426ec472f4dd0de44f

  Impact: this causes applications like Ansible that have dependencies
  on python-jmespath to send out warnings. Caused by language changes in
  Python 3.8.

  System is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a Pi 4.
