Example of where I found it (not sure if it's the only place) https://github.com/Shimul-Baidya/MBDyn/blob/80f359c36febf36195c5d767f7db161aa880a14e/contrib/PythonPreprocessor/test_MBDynLib.py#L166-L167
Example of how I wrote a similar test: https://github.com/Shimul-Baidya/MBDyn/blob/80f359c36febf36195c5d767f7db161aa880a14e/contrib/PythonPreprocessor/test_MBDynLib.py#L51-L53
