a boto-works test for tabled?

[Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>]

Looking at the 'python-boto' package in Fedora, I see it ships with 
boto's basic test suite.  Notably, it ships with a test module that 
exercises boto's S3 library routines.

Is there anyone that would be interested in copying (or directly use) 
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/boto/tests/test_s3connection.py as a 
tabled "boto-works" test?  According to the boto author, boto should 
accept non-Amazon hostnames, which is the only requirement outside of 
Amazon AWS specifications that tabled has.

I am bloody awful at python, really don't know it well at all.  But to 
anyone who knows python, this will probably take all of an hour, from 
start to "make distcheck".  All anyone needs to do is create a python 
script 'test/boto-works' for tabled, which does exit(0) on success and 
exit(1) upon test failure.  "make check" or "make distcheck" initiate 
tabled's testsuite.

This would add a python-boto BuildRequires in tabled's rpm build, but I 
don't think that is a major issue.
