How To Install python-vcrpy on CentOS 7

Introduction

Simplify and speed up testing HTTP by recording all HTTP interactions and saving them to “cassette” files, which are yaml files containing the contents of your requests and responses. Then when you run your tests again, they all just hit the text files instead of the internet. This speeds up your tests and lets you work offline.
