<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.
