The (limited) experiences with py.test, however, were awesome. Some points that are quite cool IMHO:
- Easy finding of tests: just write some ``test_function`` in a ``test_module`` and it will be found and executed. That also makes py.test tests more readable and maybe more intuitive.
I'm not sure this is always a good idea. It feels a bit implicit, and having a base class isn't really a big problem, IMHO. It seems a bit like the kind of thing that sounds cool (look, it's even easier!), but in practice makes little difference.
Belatedly adding my few cents here: in practice I quite enjoy not having to copy ugly boilerplate from test modules that I always always forget. It's actually nice to just write a test_* function and have the test runner just work. So it's cool for some people, namely me. Regards, Martijn
