Write a manage.py script

[drvinceknight]

As the number of strategies grows: the mathces (or just the random repetitions) can be parallelised (possibly even making use of caching for non stochastic strategies...).

[drvinceknight]

I'm going to incorporate this with a new manage.py script which will run everything:

• options to run tests
• options to run in parallel
• etc?

[langner]

At first glance, caching would be the first things to do to boost performance.

[langner]

See #41 for caching for pairs of deterministic strategies.

Absolutely huge pull request! Amazing! Awesome @langner ! I'll leave this issue open as I still want to parallelise when I get a chance. That does need the overall better manage.py script which I'll get to.

[drvinceknight]

(I am learning a lot of Python from your pull request @langner : very much appreciated).

Can this one be closed now?

[drvinceknight]

I think I'd still like a manage.py script, which we don't have so that we could move the functionality of run_tournament and include options like:

manage.py test

actually that's the only extra thing I'd want in there that I can think off.. Perhaps not needed?

[meatballs]

why not just add any additional functionality as methods in the TournamentManager class? Makes them much easier to test.

[drvinceknight]

Does it make sense to have run tests in there? I think that's the only
extra thing really needed which I'm now not sure warrants it... Although I
guess could be nice...

Probably doesn't make much sense. Anyone who knows enough to want to run the tests is going to be perfectly capable of typing the command to do so. Running tests from within TournamentManager would actually require more typing!

[drvinceknight]

Yeah... Cool. Let's scrap this.
