Summary0006003: must align bank-lib tests to new Python bank's password management interface
DescriptionSo far, bank-lib tests relied on known-in-advance passwords to login at the Python bank and perform operations like requesting histories or issuing wire transfers.

Since the Python bank now generates random passwords for users that are programmatically created, the bank-lib tests cannot login anymore. And furthermore, the Python bank has only one *interactive* way to let users change their passwords, that makes a programmatic usage from tests more problematic.

Oh, this is a big RC issue. Why was this changed? Can we have a way to get the old behavior, maybe with an additional command-line switch (--test-acounts) or something like that?

Fixed in Git master by wrapping taler-bank-manage with taler-bank-manage-testing script that sets up the passwords as before -- using psql database hacking. Ugly, but Django doesn't allow non-interactive setting of passwords otherwise.
