[Buildbot-devel] "master hostname" property for a buildStep?

[Axel Hecht]

Actually, you need to jump through quite some loops to get python code
run on the slave. All the python code that you do in BuildStep
subclasses is actually run on the master.

You start running your custom code on the slave when you start
registering commands, and jump through the loops to actually
incorporate them into the slave python env on each slave. Basically,
if what I'm saying sounds like "what?", your python code is run on the
master.
