@GavinMendelGleason Could you please add a project to this repo and we can sort issues into small piecies of
all work?

There is a current need to get the tests running again for the python client, we have not worked that much with the python client yet, is this something you can have a quick look at if possible? Would be great to get the tests running correctly again after some bitrot. Pulled in the latest PRs now so it's in better shape overall!
