Andrew Stitcher commented on QPID-5307:
---------------------------------------

[~justi9] pointed me to some python scripting code he came up with in the 
context of generating the web pages: 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/site/python/transom/script.py
This may be useful for general scripting tasks.

The major thing that the scripts do is to start brokers and run clients 
(internal to python or native c++).

A bunch of the shell scripts just start brokers then fire up a python testing 
script. I think that since those scripts were originally written the python 
code has got some capability to start brokers itself (see the ha python tester) 
So that might be a place to start looking.

> 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?
