Is there a reason to advocate zope.testing over the others? Would it perhaps make more sense to use one of the more widely used tools instead of maintaing our own testing toolkit?
I'd also like for us to adopt one of the more widely used test runners, but as mentioned in replies, there are some features in zope.testing that we depend on. If someone were adequately motivated and had sufficient time (neither of which I have, so I suspect no one else does either), it would be interesting to attempt to endue another test runner with the features we need (layers, etc.).
I like our test runner and spent time refactoring it so we can actually start making changes again. I looked at other test runners (nose, py.test) and didn't find anything compelling (to me) that we didn't already have.
