[tor-dev] Stem Testing Code Question - Wesleyan Interns

Hi Damian,

Having gotten started looking at some of the testing code from Stem over the last day or so, Megan and I have come up with a question. While both of us are currently on #tor and #tor-dev (as ErikI and MeganC), we figured an email would be best for getting started as we have a bit more to say.

In run_tests.py, under the if statement that catches the case of integration tests (line 268), there is a block of code that contains a number of references to 'targets.' To start, could you explain the formatting and specific purpose of the settings.cfg file?

Basically, we are trying to understand what lines 274 through 309 are doing in run_tests.py.

Thanks in advance, Erik & Megan
