Description

To ensure the Python plugin works properly as the rest of the code (or the Python plugin itself) gets changed, there should be one or more autotests that actually use as much of the exposed API as possible to verify that it works correctly.

The plugin functionality currently covers loading and saving of maps, and both parts should be tested.
