Nose is sweet:
http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/
http://code.google.com/p/python-nose/

Great test discovery and lots of neat plugins: coverage reports, doctest 
support, etc.

You might also be interested in the testing-in-python list:

I've tried to avoid writing my own test harnesses & subclassess.  I'd rather 
loose some integration/functionality for the benefits of interoperability 
with other tools (ie, nose).

It'd sure be nice if Wing supported nose though.  There's a pdb plugin that 
drops you into pdb on test failure.  Perhaps we could write a similar plugin 
for wingdbstub?

Hey nose-users, any of you use WingIDE?
