Comment (by julien):
Thank you all for the precious early work on this. I've used the initial
patches here and tried to come up with a clean implementation and a simple
API (see the attached patch). I've also written a few Selenium tests for
the admin; many more admin tests could be written but I think for now
that's enough to show that it works.
Several things could probably be improved. Perhaps the Selenium and live
servers should be launched in `setUpClass()` instead of `setUp()`. There
also probably are some edge cases that aren't covered yet, as so far I've
only tested with sqlite on Chrome and Firefox.
Finally, one particular comment on threading. As currently implemented,
the live server continuously waits for requests until the `please_stop`
event is set. Since the socket is blocked until the next request is
received, I've made it to send on last dummy request to finally unblock
and close the server. Although I could live with that, it'd be nice to do
it a bit differently. Some good clues can be found there:

python-2-5-a.html
I've written some doc which should hopefully be enough to get you started.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
