stubserver.py

Testing external web dependencies in a mock objects style.  Written for Python 2.6, ported to Python 2.5 this library includes 
the tests at the bottom of the stubserver.py file, which serve both as the TDD tests written while creating this library, and
as examples / documentation.  It supports any HTTP method, i.e. GET, PUT, POST and DELETE.  It supports chunked encoding, but 
currently we have no use cases for multipart support etc, so it doesn't do it.  An excerpt from the tests is below:-

class WebTest(TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        self.server = StubServer(8998)
        self.server.run()

    def tearDown(self):
        self.server.stop()
        # implicitly calls verify on stop

    def test_put_with_capture(self):
        capture = {}
        self.server.expect(method="PUT", url="/address/\d+$", data_capture=capture).and_return(reply_code=201)
        
        # do stuff here
        
        captured = eval(capture["body"])
        self.assertEquals("world", captured["hello"])
        # 
        
Though stubserver is at version 0.1, it is actively used in Point 2 for both Python 2.5 and Python 2.6 codebases, so it is 
fairly bug free.
