I am currently readingPython Testing: Beginner's Guideby Daniel Arbuckle 
http://www.amazon.com/Python-Testing-Beginners-Arbuckle-Daniel/dp/1847198848

It covers doctest, unittest, nose, test-driven programming and more (I am just 
half way the book). ItÅ› a beginnnerÅ› guide but I like it.
Some of the examples are a little too simplistic (the author keeps writing 
'fixtures' for datetime.datetime.now(), for example).
But again, I am happy that I bought it. The only thing I did wrong: I bought it 
too late! Apparently hte FIRST thing one has to do is write tests, not the LAST.

Cheers,
Albert-Jan
