+
+<p>This is a suite of python client tests that exercise and verify broker functionality. Python allows us to rapidly develop client test scenarios and provides a 'neutral' set of tests that can run against any AMQP-compliant broker.</p>
+
+<p>The python/tests directory contains a collection of python modules, each containing several unittest classes, each containing a set of test methods that represent some test scenario. Test classes inheirt <tt>qpid.TestBas</tt> from <tt>qpid/testlib.py</tt>, it inherits <tt>unittest.TestCase</tt> but adds some qpid-specific <tt>setUp/tearDown</tt> and convenience functions. </p>
+
+<p>TODO: get pydoc generated up to qpid wiki or website automatically?</p>
+
+<h3><a name="PythonBrokerTest-Runningthetests"></a>Running the tests </h3>
+
+<p>Simplest way to run the tests:</p>
+
+<ul>
+	<li>Run a broker on the default port</li>
+	<li><tt>./run_tests</tt></li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>For additional options: <tt>./run_tests --help</tt></p>
+
+<h3><a name="PythonBrokerTest-Expectedfailures"></a>Expected failures </h3>
+
+<p>Until we complete functionality, tests may fail because the tested<br/>
+functionality is missing in the broker. To skip expected failures<br/>
+in the C++ or Java brokers:</p>
+<div class="code"><div class="codeContent">
+<pre class="code-java">./run_tests -I cpp_failing.txt
+ ./run_tests -I java_failing.txt</pre>
+</div></div>
+<p>If you fix a failure, please remove it from the corresponding list.</p>
