The doctests are really what you want to use, and not that hard. Just run your
routes.py with python. (Delete the existing tests that fail because you've
changed the routes from the example, or convert them to conform to your routes).
>>> filter_url('http://adsf.com/blah/etc/test')
"what you expect"
You don't even have to get "what you expect" right, since the doctest will tell
you what it actually got.
