We currently plan to develop a plugin system so many testing systems can

Just as an aside, the assert form works in unittest derived tests -- or 
at least I think it does and my tests seem to work even though I don't 
think I've ever used any of the assertThisOrThat methods.  I'm sure each 
testing tool has its advantages but I suspect the assert statement can 
be used with all (or almost all) of them.
