  Mocked responses for the requests library

I wouldn't run a real HTTP server to test your client. It's fiddly (as you already learned) and slow in execution. Instead you should mock the responses you 'receive' in your tests. With requests you can hack into the client's underlying adapter to achieve that, or use requests-mock if you don't want to do the hacking yourself.

  A library that allows you to easily mock out tests based on AWS infrastructure.

  

I'm also using moto to mock AWS API calls, which works by monkey-patcjing the requests library. These two libraries might clash.
