[Pulp-dev] Bindings Testing Epic

[Bruno Rocha]

I totally support this idea, in fact if auto generated bindings could be
used to replace pulp-smash (partially or fully) that would save a lot of
effort on maintaining it.

There are some reasons I tracked on why refactoring pulp-smash would be a
good idea:

@Tanya one of the things we wanted to do in pulp-smash was removing the
"unittest" class based style in favor of pytest functional style, why
haven't you used pytest and its fixtures for 2to3-migration tests? have you
considered it?
