 Here are Python scripts that are available for testing firmware, hardware and software.  Python scripts are eventually going to supersede Bash scripts, because of the ease of parsing data frames in Python, etc.  The following Pyton scripts currently exist, and are used for the following:
 * fw_auto_cc_stop -- '''Incomplete'''.  Eventually this script will test all the different STOP command scenarios in the MCE.

 There are Bash scripts for testing firmware, hardware and software.  They are stored in SVN, in the following directory path: /home/mce/mce_script/test_suite.  The following Bash scripts currently exist, and are used for the following:
