[ptt-users] RE: Stress Test data from input file

[Thieme.Geoff]

Is there any way to read the agentid variable (it is set to 1 for test
#1 and 2 for test #2) set in master.py (or equivalent) from within the
test.py script?

Then I could open my input data file from each test.py script, and skip
to line #x (get x from agentid variable) for test data. Performance wise
this would cause more file I/O, but it might work as a quick fix.
