Thanks, I am writing a fixture to test an app. The app normally uses the Python
wrapper for the GnuTLS library to handshake with a service that I want to
mock up in my fixture. The app passes a file descriptor number to
gnutls_transport_set_ptr()

When I test the app, the app and fixture run in the same process. I want a file
descriptor number I can foist on the app, and in the fixture access what is
read/written to it by the GnuTLS wrapper.
