You probably don't want to run tests by making HTTP calls to web2py running behind a web server (unless doing functional testing, in which case, just start up the built-in server from the command line and then run your tests -- which you can automate with a shell script). Instead, you can run tests in the context of a web2py environment (much like the environment that is constructed in the web2py shell). For an example specifically using py.test, check out https://github.com/viniciusban/web2py.test, in particular, https://github.com/viniciusban/web2py.test/blob/master/tests/conftest.py#L85.
