That's good news. A related question about Snakebite, though. Maybe I missed something obvious, but is there an overview of how the core devs can use it? In particular, I'd want to know if Snakebite runs Python's tests regularly - and if it does, how can I see the status. How do I know if any commit of mine broke some host Snakebite has? How can I SSH to that host in order to reproduce and fix the problem? Some sort of a blog post about this, at least, would be very helpful for me and possibly other developers as well.

Presumably that should go somewhere more permanent.
Indeed, I'm going to carve out some time over the Christmas/NY break to work on this. There should really be a "Developer's Guide" that explains how to get the most out of the network.
Thanks, indeed a more permanent place would be nice. So from reading the above, am I correct in the understanding that these hosts don't actually run tests at the moment? They only do if we log into them to test stuff? I think it would be really nice if they could actually run as buildbot slaves and execute Python tests continuously.
Some of them are buildbots, some are not. -- Regards, Benjamin
