There are several examples within canonical projects that do the exact same
thing. I don't know what test runner you are using in python but the
ubuntuone-client is a perfect example of such a pattern. The code that is
of interest is the lp:ubutuone-dev-tools

There is A LOT of knowledge related to tests in the ubuntu one team that
tests network requests using a local test server and that are very
reliable. We should take advantage of it.
