[Commotion-dev] Python-based testing framework across Ubuntu/Debian and Android (and maybe OSX)?

[Ben West]

Hi All,

In lieu of recent progress towards getting Commotion to a working state on
Android, Ubuntu/Debian. and now possibly OSX, what thoughts about building
a simple and (to whatever degree feasible) cross-platform testing framework
in Python?

The general idea is that python scripts could be used to start hitting the
test vectors listed here (note the server appears to be really slow):

https://code.commotionwireless.net/projects/commotion/wiki/Testing#Mesh-Routing-Tech-Evaluations
https://code.commotionwireless.net/projects/commotion/wiki/Testing#Testbed-Requirements-based-on-test-suite-defined-above
https://code.commotionwireless.net/projects/commotion/wiki/Testing#Release-Candidate-Test-Regimen

That is, assuming Ubuntu/Debian/OSX's python support as a starting point,
could these lighweight python implementations allow for some unified test
scripts across platforms?

http://qpython.com/ (for Android)
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/packages/lang/python/Makefile (for OpenWRT,
to be compiled as module)

Has anyone on the list had good experience with these Python
implementations?

My original thought for such testing scripts was to do them in shell
scripting, but I'm guessing Python would be easier and more powerful.
