VCR, as far as i know only works for HTTP. It is very easy to use, and unfortunately i didn't find a match for it in python. It seems people are more concerned about building "My new cool ruby-like test runner".<div>
<br></div><div>The coding strategy to make VCR was to monkeypatch the Http Libraries, like the basic Net::Http, since there are a lot of http clients use it under the hood. And for the ones who don't, the author wrote an adapter for the most popular ones[1].</div>

I just saw this library in action and I think it's great:<br>

is there anything similar also in Python maybe??<br>

The Zope community used to use tcpwatch<br>
(<a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tcpwatch" target="_blank">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/<u></u>tcpwatch</a>) in a similar way to record<br>
functional tests (<a href="http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/fdoctests.html" target="_blank">http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/<u></u>fdoctests.html</a>).<br>

Heh. Now that I've read more carefully I can see that VCR does nothing<br>
like I thought. :)<br>

What did you think it was doing?<br>
<br>
I think it's quite cool because it records the http transactions in yaml format, and<br>
they can be easily added to the repository to be played again during the next run of the test.<br>
<br>
I wonder if that only works with HTTP or is possible to generalise to any protocol.. (I don't see why not)<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
