Yesterday I did wrote most of the tests and implementation for
initialising the payment, but got stuck at the point of testing
against a mock payment service. I ended up temporarily copying the
mock payment server into my branch and fixing some of the issues to be
able to continue.

Anthony got in there and fixed the mock payment server overnight so
that I don't need to include the code itself in the
software-center-agent branch, but we then hit the issue of not being
able to include *just* the mock server (as opposed to including the
entire canonical-payment-service as a requirement for the
software-center-agent, with all its dependencies). We discussed a few
options (just including it as a requirement, or putting the mock
server in a separate branch to pull in), and ended up deciding on
using buildout to setup the development environment (which will enable
us to just pull the branch and use the mockserver without all the
dependencies etc.)

So, I'm currently converting the tree to use buildout for development.
Once that's done, I'll go back to the branch I was working on and
update it to pull in the mock payment server as planned.

Cheers,
Michael
