NOTE: this is a work in progress.

This repo implements two classes to handle request validation and cloning. The class workerR is initialized from a group of requests (list of request PID's). These requests can be cloned into a new object using the method clone (this will create new requests online!).
The class workerT is initialized from a McM ticket PID. The requests in the ticket can be cloned into a new ticket using the method clone (this will create new requests online!). NOTE cloning of tickets to be tested.
Methods common to the two classes are define in the worker base class:

• checkid: checks that all requests in the object list are present online
• checkstate: prints the state of the requests in the list/ticket
• reset: reset all the requests in the list/ticket
• update: given a dictionary of the type {field: newvalue}, updates the specified fields of each request. If newvalue is a lambda function, it is evaluated on the request.
• validate: runs the validation of the requests in the list/ticket.
• grasp: creates a grasp link for monitoring

NOTE almost all methods act online on the McM website.
