One final note, that I thought might be useful to others.
I've just discovered doctest, which allows you to run tests on your embedded
function/class documentation.
Check it out here:

Without reading too much into it, it was quite simple to create a series of
test classes which just run some expected assertion values on a small
scenario of inputs and what's expected.
I usually find that I learn best by dabbling around in source code,

All these responses are incredible, I will go through them on my venture to
bring unit testing under my belt.
I have never done formal unit testing in my programming career, I've just
gone through way of general debugging and utilizing version control such as
Mercurial.

I'm not the OP, but I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your
feedback - excellent writeup!

Hi all,
Do any of you have any feedback, strategies and best practices related to
unit testing within Python. This is a relatively new topic for me. I was
thinking of starting with reading the documentation associate with the
unittest module.
