I've got an issue that I've been struggling to solve for a few days
now.  I'm working with another developer on a Turbogears (version 2)
project and we're wanting to write some functional unit tests for the
controllers.  Thus far, I've successfully implemented the approach
found at:

http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonsdocs/Unit+Testing

...for some simple unit testing of our controllers.

This approach returns results, but they've been generated into the
appropriate templates as a paste Response object.  For unit testing,
it would be ideal if we could actually "call" the controller methods
we're testing and make assertions against their actual return values
(as it's much easier to make assertions against a simple dictionary
rather than the generated HTML output of the template!  A similar
feature is available in the first version of Turbogears, and is
illustrated here:

http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/Testing#testing-your-controller

I'd like to reproduce this functionality in Pylons and/or Turbogears2,
but am not really sure the best direction to go, as my knowledge of
Pylons internals is fair at best.  Perhaps such functionality is
actually already available, and I've not yet stumbled upon it?  Can
anyone give me some general insight, advice, or direction?
