Yes.

Right.  I was wondering if I should make some trivial scripts in python
to talk to the API and see what kind of response it got.  Perhaps it can
be the start of a test suite?  I suspect it make sense to put it in a
separate git repository, to make it easier to reuse for other
implementations, if that is interesting to them.

Or is it better to write some JUnit tests in Java to include in the
nikita code?  I suspect python code will be quicker to prototype.
