requests test client. Allows you to test your application using the python requests library as the client. Interestingly this opens the possibility of writing test cases that can be run either locally, or against a staging or live environment.coreapi test client. Allows you to test your application using the coreapi client library.coreapi and coreapi-cli.There is now a management site for sponsors to update their sponsorship details:

I’ve not yet handed out invitations to everyone. Email me if you’d like a login. I expect to be sending out invitations & details later in September.
Against a baseline of £48,000/yr revenue (not salary) we’re now at somewhere over 90% sustainability.
Reaching the tipping point of sustainability is tremendously important to the long-term success of the project. If your business has not yet signed up for a paid plan, please consider doing so:

As ever, thanks to all our sponsors, contributors, and users for your ongoing support.
