That is a wonderful proposal. We now have support for testcases in LTP
library for test cases written in C and Shell. It would be really nice
to see if the same can be extended to other programming languages like
the Perl, Java and Python, if we can create the same tst_* set of
libraries for them.
It would go in long way for people who are much familiar with these
languages, so that our scope of getting contribution in enlarged. I
would really like to see that happen. And once that happens we can make
an announcement in the LKML and other mailing list saying that: "See
guys, you have these many languages in which you can write an LTP test
case, so what´s preventing you from writing one for us........"
things like that.

This spins off another interesting idea in my mind. If and when this is
ready we will go ahead and define corresponding templates (for writing
LTP test cases) in those new languages like the C and SHELL we have
here:
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/documentation/how-to/ltp.php#_4 &
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/documentation/how-to/ltp.php#_5
I would be really happy if we can expand the base in which we can write
our test cases. Let me know what others think.
