Hi,

I would like to talk about a testing library I wrote on top of unittest 
called aiotest. The goal is to provide a package compatible with the 
standard unittest package, but which cuts the boilerplate when testing 
asyncio code.

The code is on github here: https://github.com/Martiusweb/aiotest

I use this library for a project at work, and it currently integrates the 
most common features one should need, such as :

 - a TestCase class which creates and recycle the loop after each test, 
allows setUp, tearDown and test functions to be coroutine functions, and 
checks that the loop ran during a test,
 - CoroutineMock, which allows to mock a coroutine, and modified versions 
of Mock, MagicMock which can return a CoroutineMock object instead of a 
MagicMock object when a spec or spec_set is defined and the original member 
of the mocked object/class is a coroutine function,
 - mock.patch() are also updated so they return the enhanced Mock and 
MagickMock objects, or CoroutineMock is the patched value is a coroutine 
function.

I will add the package to PyPI later this week, since It's my first 
package, I'd like to be extra careful.

I am obviously open to suggestions, feature requests and bug reports!

Cheers,
Martin
