I found the python's unittest framework lack good reporting tools. For my project (www.srcmap.com), I want something that does high level features integration tests, scriptable, generate report in HTML table format that label pass ->Green, fail -> Red. Separate by scripts, commands runs, etc. In python, it is so trivial to write you own. It parse the json test scripts and execute the commands inside one at a time. It works very well. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
