The grpc-testing package is for mocking the services. It can intercept 
messages, inject logic, alter timestamp.

How to write tests is a programming philosophy question. In most of the 
gRPC Python tests, we try to use "end2end" style tests, conduct tests only 
using the public API.

Re: [grpc-io] Re: grpcio_testing code samples

[M T]

One thing I just noticed that I didn't include in my original request: I'm
looking for examples on how to write tests for *python* grpc services &
clients.

Thanks for getting back to me - but unfortunately, neither link helps:

* https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/examples only contains usage
examples of actually implementing services / clients, but not about  how to
test them
* https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/test only contains a bunch of
.cc files, which don't help in my case, since I'm looking for python unit
tests, and the only python-related files I could find in there where about
testing the generation of the wheels that are required for the python
grpcio packages

When I said "the documentation only lists what classes / methods exist, but
not how to use them", I was talking about this:
https://grpc.github.io/grpc/python/grpc_testing.html - and this is quite
cryptic to a newbie like me. A simple example (e.g. unit tests for the
hello world example) would be enough to get started, but the way it is, I
can't really make sense of any of these classes. And googling also didn't
provide me with any kind of guidance on the python grpc test classes. A
possible place to add such an example would be
https://grpc.io/docs/languages/python/basics/, I guess, which contains the
hello world example for python.

Thank you for the feedback! Do the examples 
in https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/examples 
and https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/test help?
