--- Comment #6 from Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl at lkcl.net> ---
the answer still remains no. the line has to be drawn, and it was drawn when
dmitry couldn't (and still hasn't) been able to install pia.

if this unit test depends on pia *dmitry cannot run it*.

whatever work has to be done to get this test to be in python-only
working right now is perfectly fine and 100% preferable to the situation
of perpetuating further critical dependence on pia.

i really mean it: NO using pia.  the cost has been demonstrated to be
too high.

do whatever you need as quickly as you can, in pure python only:
don't consider "designing an API" just get it done, fast.
i'll back you with an appropriate budget and think about ways
to justify getting a larger one into the (new) simulator
Grant proposal submitted last month.
