This lets tests verify how an application behaves when its dependencies misbehave. *Why not just use a generic container for this?* Toxiproxy needs its own helpers to be usable: exposing the HTTP control API and a range of proxy ports, creating proxies in front of an upstream, and adding toxics via the control API. A ToxiproxyContainer module already exists for testcontainers Java <https://testcontainers.com/modules/toxiproxy/>, Go and .NET, but not yet for Python. I have a working implementation (no extra runtime dependencies, control API called over urllib) with an integration test, docs and example, and would like to contribute it. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#1104?email_source=notifications&email_token=ACECGJCQBE5LED3M2MLJ2Y35KWOJDA5CNFSL4Z3JMQ5C6L3HNF2C22DVMIXUS43TOVSS6NJRHEZDOMZUGI2TTJTSMVQXG33OVJZXKYTTMNZGSYTFMSSWK5TFNZ2KYZTPN52GK4S7MNWGSY3L>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/ACECGJEESJ527QTDYLX7KKL5KWOJDAVCNFSNUABEKJSXA33TNF2G64TZHM4DKOBQGI4DCOJ3JFZXG5LFHM2TCOJSG4ZTIMRVHGQXMAQ> .

   Thanks @alexanderankin! Already opened as #1105 — it adds a ToxiproxyContainer module (control API + proxy port range, create_proxy/add_toxic helpers) with an integration test, docs and an example, and no extra runtime dependencies. Happy to adjust anything in review 🙂
