  Great news!  Does this mean that documentation is forthcoming?  ;-) 
This would be a good topic for a HOW-TO document.  I can even envision 
a Topic Guide that deals with issues of testing and other forms for
code checking (coverage analysis, pylint flavors, etc.).
  Now we just need to draft someone knowledgeable in the area and
inflict upon him or her the burning itch to write documentation...!
