Jonathan Lange wrote about this a long time ago:

but better than doing that would be to avoid setting up and tearing down real TCP connections during your tests.  Those are slower than an in-memory thing (like you would get from twisted.test.proto_helpers, the one and only public module in our 'test' package) and also, as you have discovered, more unpredictable.

Is there any way to hand txredis a synthetic transport for testing?  If not, file a bug on it :).
