Hi all (especially Gordon)
I was just freshening up my system as a result of uplifting to 0.25
doing a bunch of rebuilds etc. and a few things about the python tools
installed from /tools/src/py have just struck me.

1) qpid-send/qpid-receive have been added relatively recently to the
src/py directory here but they aren't included as part of the setup.py
install - is this accidental or deliberate?

Accidental, I believe.

2) There's been a fair bit of reference to qpidt in the mailing list
(and qpid-ctrl can be useful too on occasion) but they seem to be
sitting in /cpp/src/tests which is probably not the first place people
are likely to visit to look for control utilities. Would it make sense
to move them to tools?

We had a short thread about this in the not so distant past. The problem is a proliferation of tools on one hand, but a feeling (at least from me!) that simply adding more and more things to qpid-config is not the right way forward either.

The 'decision' was to punt the decision down the road a bit by putting qpidt in alongside the tests until we have a bit more feedback etc to go on.

Having a generic create/delete/list capability (by which I mean one that you don't need to explicit alter or augment just to support a new object type) is in my view hugely useful.
