Rusty Russell 32d650f9df lightningd: don't abort on incorrect versions, but try to re-exec.
You still shouldn't do this (you could get some transient failures),
but at least you have a decent chance if you reinstall over a running
daemon, instead of getting confusing internal errors if message
formats have changed.

Changelog-Added: lightningd: we now try to restart if subdaemons are upgraded underneath us.

pyln-testing: A library to write tests against c-lightning

This library implements a number of utilities that help building tests for c-lightning nodes. In particular it provides a number of pytest fixtures that allow the management of a test network of a given topology and then execute a test scenarion.

pyln-testing is used by c-lightning for its internal tests, and by the community plugin directory to exercise the plugins.

Installation

pyln-testing is available on pip:

pip install pyln-testing

Alternatively you can also install the development version to get access to currently unreleased features by checking out the c-lightning source code and installing into your python3 environment:

git clone https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning.git
cd lightning/contrib/pyln-testing
python3 setup.py develop

This will add links to the library into your environment so changing the checked out source code will also result in the environment picking up these changes. Notice however that unreleased versions may change API without warning, so test thoroughly with the released version.
