Tests

A standalone test runner is integrated in setup.py; to run, just execute:

python setup.py test

In addition, a tox config is provided so the testsuite can be run in a virtualenv setup against all supported python versions. To run tests for all environments just execute tox in the root directory of a repo or unpacked tarball. Otherwise, for a specific python version execute something similar to the following:

tox -e py27

Note that mock is required for tests if you’re using anything less than python 3.3.
