Hi Vincent,

You can obviously do something like:

  >>> from sleeptest import SleepTest
  >>> s = SleepTest()
  >>> print s
  Test('0-SleepTest')
  >>> print s.run_avocado()
  None

But this is probably not what you want.

TBH, this is something we intend to tackle with the "Job API".  You can 
find some references about it in this very same mailling list.  After 
you catch up with the concepts and ideas there, please let us know if it 
matches your requirements and ideas.

Cheers,
