+<p>The <b>libpathod.test</b> 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 remainder of this page demonstrates some common interaction patterns using

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