There are a lot of flavors to choose from in Python . Trust me . I've
been subscribed to TiP ML since years ago and there are many options
at hand .
BTW , Twill and Selenium can be used altogether [1]_ .

I'll forward this question onto TiP ML to know more about the subject
. AFAICR , part of it became wsgi-intercept project and was actively
maintained the last time I took a look at it (... at the time hosted
by Google Code ... somewhere ...) , but I'm not pretty sure of its
status now .

If you mention that after reviewing Trac tests , yes ... Trac
unitest-style is a PITA ... that's why I wrote my own framework in the

;)
PS: BTW , twill is more than yet another testing framework ... Indeed
it becomes such a thing when wsgi-intercept is activated .
