Pythonista wanted for help with tag2upload testing

[Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>]

tl;dr:
  - Can you read Python fluently?
  - Are you available for a small code-reading task in the next week?
  - Would you like to help with tag2upload?
  If so, please get in touch!  No knowledge of tag2upload needed.
  No actual programming involved - unless you want to :-).

Hi.  It looks like tag2upload is finally moving.  We have done at
least one very basic end-to-end test upload of the most simple case,
which was successful.  \o/

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this.

But:

We're taking this cautiously.  Before we tell our beta participants to
let loose completely (and particularly, given the freeze, to possibly
use a system that may go wrong), we want to test the corner cases.
But we're not entirely sure what they are.

We'd like someone who speaks Python well to volunteer to read the new
tag2upload code in dak [1].

Sean and I would likely want to engage in a dialogue with you where we
come to an understanding of what the likely interesting cases are.
We'll then perform ad-hoc tests and/or you could help us formal test
cases, as seems appropriate (and as we all have effort for).

We'd like to be able to get confidence in the system fairly quickly,
to retain momentum, so availability relatively soon would be good.

We don't think this is a very difficult problem, but neither Sean or I
are sufficiently into Python that we're confident of our ground.
Hence the request for help.

Thanks,
Ian.

We'll be sending a version of this mail to the beta programme
participants, who are owed an update.
