[mod_python] mod_python and unittest

I've looked in the test directory and figured things out.

However for simple tests, would it not be easier to simply create a
mock request object?

Right now I just want a unittest for my session mutator functions.

I can imagine there are tests that will require setting up an http
instance and yadda, yadda, yadda, but for simple stuff, I'm thinking a
mock request object will do.

Does anyone see any reasons not to use a mock request object?

Perhaps a, from mod_python import mockreq ?? ;)

I just want to have a little dialog to ensure my effort to create a
mockreq module would be worthwhile.

Thanks,
--Sean
