I was going to try to re-use the existing functional test suite, in a similar way to what we do for syncstorage.  Turns out that was a giant rat-hole.  Instead let's just use a simple purpose-built script like the attached.

This script verifiers the user API so it should be usable for reg and sreg, and by extension for testing a node-assignment server.  :bobm let's work together tomorrow to try this out, and I'll look into building something similar for account-portal.

Noting here that the URL should probably default assume that reg lives at http://localhost/user/1.0.

Updating the script based on our initial attempt to use it.

This new version will give a better error message if captchas are enabled, is less picky about the format of a node assignment, and allows an optional node-assignement server to be specified as a separate URL.

This should help us to work around the difficulties with our deployment setup, where node-assignent is done by a separate service and manged via url-munging in zeus.  Run it something like:

     ./bin/python test_user_api.py http://reg.server.url http://node.server.url

Bob, we'll probably have to tweak a few details when we go to run this in practice, but I'm hopeful this can give you a solid test script for the two services.
