Adds createtransfers.py Python executable which can be used to create test transfers. Calling `./createtransfers.py create-variously-encoded-files` will create transfers containing files whose names are non-UTF-8-encoded byte strings. This is preferable to having such files already existing in the repository itself because these strange encodings can break git depending on the platform of the user. Fixes #12

I wonder if there is scope to pull the script out of here and make it a submodule. Making the script live on it's own as a generate-files piece of code that could be expanded on to generate data of other types. It's something I've done in the past for, myself, Tessella and then Rosetta testing, and indeed, for generating our AV files, https://github.com/ross-spencer/badfood would love to talk more, as i think it could be a tool useful again in a broader part of the community. |
