Integration test for Tornado server

I am coming from Java background and absolutely new at Python.

Suppose I have Python program hello.py that launches a web server like that:

import tornado.web
import tornado.httpserver
import tornado.ioloop

def start_server(port, handler):
    app = tornado.web.Application([(r"/", handler), ])
    server = tornado.httpserver.HTTPServer(app)
    server.bind(port)
    server.start(0)  # autodetect number of cores and fork a process for each
    tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()

class MyHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):

    def get(self):
        self.write("Hello!")

start_server(5000, MyHandler)

Now I'd like to write an integration test for this server in Python. The test should:

How would you suggest write such a test ?

I would recommend you to look at the test directory of tornado. It contains all the tornado tests, that you can launch with python or nosetests.

You can have a look at httpserver_test.py.
