Description

In Winloop 0.2.0 or before 2026 I would like to start planning to migrate to pytest so that things could be formatted a little better. A Migration Python script might be needed or looked into.

One thing to consider is a tutorial on how to enable test clients to use Winloop

https://starlette.dev/testclient/

asyncio makes test suites so slow.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to create a custom test client for Winloop using Starlette's TestClient, similar to how uvloop might be integrated. Provide a tutorial or script to enable Winloop in pytest test suites.
