matrix-is-tester is an integration testing system for Matrix Identity servers, similar to sytest (although using python rather than perl).

To launch the IS server, it attempts to import matrix_is_test.launcher.MatrixIsTestLauncher. This must be provided separately for the specific ID server implementation to be tested. See sydent's implementation for an example of how this works.

Sydent supplies its matrix-is-tester launcher in the project directory, so to launch matrix_is_tester on sydent you would run:

PYTHONPATH="/path/to/sydent" trial matrix_is_tester

...which puts the launcher on the PYTHONPATH and invokes trial on matrix_is_tester (which is assumed to already be on sys.path).
