+    Find a free server port to use. Specifically, evaluate 'expr' (a
+    callable(port)) until it stops raising EADDRINUSE exception.
+
+    Pass:
+
+    portlist: an iterable (e.g. xrange()) of ports to try. If you exhaust the
+    range, freeport() lets the socket.error exception propagate. If you want
+    unbounded, you could pass itertools.count(baseport), though of course in
+    practice the ceiling is 2^16-1 anyway. But it seems prudent to constrain
+    the range much more sharply: if we're iterating an absurd number of times,
+    probably something else is wrong.
+
+    expr: a callable accepting a port number, specifically one of the items
+    from portlist. If calling that callable raises socket.error with
+    EADDRINUSE, freeport() retrieves the next item from portlist and retries.
+
+    Returns: (expr(port), port)
+
+    port: the value from portlist for which expr(port) succeeded
+
+    Raises:
+
+    Any exception raised by expr(port) other than EADDRINUSE.
+
+    socket.error if, for every item from portlist, expr(port) raises
+    socket.error. The exception you see is the one from the last item in
+    portlist.
+
+    StopIteration if portlist is completely empty.
+
+    Example:
+
+    server, port = freeport(xrange(8000, 8010),
+                            lambda port: HTTPServer(("localhost", port),
