python读取本地文件-Python请求从本地URL获取文件

I am using Python's requests library in one method of my application. The body of the method looks like this:

def handle_remote_file(url, **kwargs):

response = requests.get(url, ...)

buff = StringIO.StringIO()

buff.write(response.content)

...

return True

I'd like to write some unit tests for that method, however, what I want to do is to pass a fake local url such as:

class RemoteTest(TestCase):

def setUp(self):

self.url = 'file:///tmp/dummy.txt'

def test_handle_remote_file(self):

self.assertTrue(handle_remote_file(self.url))

When I call requests.get with a local url, I got the KeyError exception below:

requests.get('file:///tmp/dummy.txt')
