Testing

If you want to run the test for PySpeak, be sure to run pip install -r requirements.txt to download the requirements first. You'll also need to take a look at the config.sample.py file, fill it with your channel info, and rename it to config.py. Make sure you create a channel for testing only or else these tests will store trash data in your channel.
