Cool, thanks for your reply, this should be added to the quick-start page, where can I make a PR for flent.org?
Also, I found that currently, PyPI flent isn't using the 1.1.1-git version (is 1.1.1), thus at that point I only saw D-ITG in conf and flent.org documentation. After looking in mailing-list I saw the commit and install flent from GitHub with `Flent 1.1.1-git-2d0cd05` which include the itff runner so can use it. And documentation didn't mention this.
