I am actually surprised that testing asynchronous methods is not
addressed in any unit test frameworks (correct me if I am wrong),
given that there are a lot of Python unittest alternatives/extensions
- nose, py.test, etc. Rationale ?

I'd also like to know the other widely used asynchronous unit test framework ?
- Twisted Trial
- tornado.testing
(I miss anything?)

I don't have any experience, anyone ?

PS: I found this question was also asked last November:
