Rewrite run-tests.pl in Python
Status: planning
The bug PlashIssues/FakeUidNotWorking would have been caught by a test in run-tests.pl, but that test suite is considered obsolete and is not being run any more. It does not fit into the main test suite which is written in Python with Python's unittest framework. Most of run-tests.pl has already been rewritten in Python, in functional_test.py. The rest should be rewritten so that these remaining tests continue to be run.
