Hi Gluster-Devel,

There's been some conversation about standard Python unit test formats (PyUnit, 
PyTest, Nose) and potentially leveraging a tool I've been working on (called 
Glusto) that wraps those standards as well as covers the fundamentals required 
of the DiSTAF framework. I'm reaching out to propose this to the Gluster-Devel 
Community for consideration.

Some of the primary features Glusto offers are:
- Reads and writes yaml, json, and ini config file formats (including Ansible 
host files).
- Provides SSH, RPyC, logging (w/ ANSI color support), configuration, 
templating (via Jinja), and simple REST methods.
- Implements cartesian product combinations with standard PyUnit class format 
for the Gluster runs_on_volumes/runs_on_mounts/reuse-setup requirements.
- Wraps the Python standard framework modules (PyUnit, PyTest, Nose) in a 
single command with a config file option.
- Tests can also be run from the CLI, IDLE, or unittest savvy tools (e.g., 
Eclipse PyDev).
- Glusto methods can also be used from IDLE for troubleshooting during 
development--as well as in scripts.
- Allows for leveraging existing unit test features such as skip decorators, 
pytest markers, etc.

I know this was a brief and high-level intro to Glusto. This is just to get the 
topic started, and we can cover details in discussion.

The Glusto repo is at http://github.com/loadtheaccumulator/glusto
Docs are at http://glusto.readthedocs.io/ (with some additional information 
being added over the next couple of days).

Please take a look and provide any questions or comments.

Cheers,
Jonathan
