Hey everyone,

I'm no longer shouting "Python". So one of my Action items is complete.

During the Face to Face in London, we discussed migrating the current test suite from Python into JavaScript using Node. The consensus in the room was a resounding "no". As such, I was tasked with investigating the cost of converting our internal tests from JavaScript into Python and then submitting to the Test Suite. [1] 

My intern has been working since then on doing just that, and I am happy to say that he made the pull request for some 45 new tests yesterday. [2]

Please review them at your convenience using Critic.

Thanks!
-John
