Hi Mikhail, Thank you for your feedback. I'll try setting up environment and will get familiar with twisted.trial.runner. Don't you mind texting via some IM (say Hangouts) in person if I meet some difficulties? P.S. You wrote contribution is a must. Is there any issue which I could resolve in scope of such requirement?
