Steve Huston commented on QPID-5307:
------------------------------------

JIRA assigned it to Alan - I've reassigned it to me, but am eager to come up 
with a plan to share the load.

It seems as though python is looking like the winner. Does someone with more 
python experience have ideas of how to structure this sort of thing in python 
land, or is a relatively straight bash->python translation ok?

> Change test scripts to cross-platform language

> The C++ tree's test suite drivers are primarily shell scripts. Many were 
> duplicated as Windows PowerShell scripts along the way. However, not all 
> scripts were PowerShell-ized, and the dual set of test scripts is not 
> maintained in sync. Someone (Cliff?) suggested a while back that the test 
> driver scripts be written in a common language across Linux and Windows, and 
> for other platforms as well.
> Python, Perl, Ruby are all possible choices - python and ruby need to be on 
> build systems anyway for code generation. What do people think about a) this 
> idea in general, b) language to use?
