Hi, Barry,
I'll forward this idea on to testing-in-python:
http://lists.idyll.org/listinfo/testing-in-python
where there was another bikeshed discussion about testing, a few weeks
ago. That might be a good place to continue this discussion, at least
until/if unittest-ng is created.
Sebastian, there was a looooong discussion on Python-Dev two or three
weeks ago (you can't miss it in the July archives, I'd bet). You should
read that IMO.
cheers,
