We are using Trac's python bindings test suite.

Our python bindings are a test of the bindings themselves, not of the C code
behind the bindings. I think it is sufficient to only perform file://
testing in the bindings tests because that will exercise the Python-to-C
translation code in exactly the same way testing over the other RA layers would.

And given my two responses, I think you're quite wrong. :-)
