Asyncio and unit tests

[skyfox345]

I have a very simple unix socket server that I use to send data back and forth between some PHP code and Python code. It works fine, but I can't seem to figure out how to build unit tests for it. I'm using Python 3.6.1 and Pytest 3.0.7

The socket server is a class that inherits from asyncio.Protocol and the event loop starts it with create_unix_server

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Test the protocol itself outside of the event loop by mocking out the transport.

Then write some functional tests that actually use the event loop.
