pathod.test
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The **pathod.test** module is a light, flexible testing layer for HTTP clients.
|
|
It works by firing up a Pathod instance in a separate thread, letting you use
|
|
Pathod's full abilities to generate responses, and then query Pathod's internal
|
|
logs to establish what happened. All the mechanics of startup, shutdown, finding
|
|
free ports and so forth are taken care of for you.
|
|
|
|
The canonical docs can be accessed using pydoc:
|
|
|
|
>>> pydoc pathod.test
|
|
|
|

|
|
also applicable with only minor modification to most commonly used Python testing
|
|
engines.
