Addendum: I get that you can test anything by monkey patching in Python, and I definitely used to do that in setUp and tearDown. But I guess I have stopped doing that, in favor of testing against my own interfaces, using integration tests with shell scripts, or the odd param that is only for testing. I think I just like to have some indication in the code of where I tested something, and it doesn't cost very much and doesn't come up too often.
