+Python3 port of the important bits of wsgi-intercept
+
+What is it?
+===========
+
+wsgi_intercept installs a WSGI application in place of a real URI for testing.
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+_This content is from the python2 version. It will be updated if
+changes are made._
+
+Testing a WSGI application normally involves starting a server at a
+local host and port, then pointing your test code to that address.
+Instead, this library lets you intercept calls to any specific
+host/port combination and redirect them into a WSGI application
+importable by your test program. Thus, you can avoid spawning multiple
+processes or threads to test your Web app.
+
+wsgi_intercept works by replacing httplib.HTTPConnection with a
+subclass, wsgi_intercept.WSGI_HTTPConnection. This class then
+redirects specific server/port combinations into a WSGI application by
+emulating a socket. If no intercept is registered for the host and
+port requested, those requests are passed on to the standard handler.
+
+The functions add_wsgi_intercept(host, port, app_create_fn,
+script_name='') and remove_wsgi_intercept(host,port) specify which
+URLs should be redirect into what applications. Note especially that
+app_create_fn is a function object returning a WSGI application;
+script_name becomes SCRIPT_NAME in the WSGI app's environment, if set.
+
+New Version
+-----------
+
+For the new version only basic intercept functionality will be
+provided, with a working implementation for urllib.request. Other
+testing tools will be supported through a plugin system. The first
+supported plugin will be httplib2.
