Python Paste has a wsgi wrapper that intercepts requests to your application and enables you to test for the correct responses/status codes etc. Here's a simple example (making sure the helloworld app works correctly).

import web

urls = (
    '/(.*)', 'hello'
)

class hello:
    def GET(self, name):
        i = web.input(times=1)
        if not name: name = 'world'
        for c in xrange(int(i.times)): 
            web.output('Hello,' + name+'!') # you must use web.output
                                            # instead of print

#if __name__ == "__main__": web.run(urls)  # don't run as usual


from paste.fixture import TestApp, TestResponse
from web import webpyfunc, wsgifunc

middleware = []
app = wsgifunc(webpyfunc(urls, globals()), *middleware)
app = TestApp(app)

r = app.get("/")
assert "Hello" in r
