Fix the tests so they use a coverage module that supports gevent (500 cow points)

py.test can't use coverage module that supports gevent https://github.com/newbrough/coverage.git. Figure out a path that allows us to use py.test and the test harness which is way better than the old stuff.

this rabbit hole runs deep.. increased cow points to 1000..

Hey the 4.0a0 version of coverage does have some gevent support...

git+https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy.git

if you call coverage with the '--timid --coroutine=gevent' options it does seems to 'mostly' work. Any work on this issue should start with this version of coveragepy and baseline against it running with these options sets.

Note: Master (7-7-14) has all of these things set, so just running

$ tox
$ coverage report 

Should give you about 79%-80% coverage, be aware that the tox script does a 'coverge combine' as we've spawned the server in as a multiprocess, so the coverage does need to be combined at the end.

So we're now into the 90% coverage range... I'm going to keep this issue open (but moving to 0.4) because even though I think it's basically fixed in coverage 4.0a0 version, it may rear it's ugly head again and at a minimum we should have someone do a 'validation' of the functionality of coverage/gevent.

moving to 0.5
