Now that I'm in the bay area, it seemed like an obvious decision to attend the bay area python interest group. They meet at Google, and have a great turn out. In attendance was Guido van Rossum hanging back on a couch, very cool.
The meeting was on Collin Winter's new project, test_harness. It is designed as a replacement for unittest. Now I don't do a lot of testing in Python, but looking at what he's done I'm planning to play with it with some upcoming projects. test_harness was designed with the idea of being easy to extend, and share the extensions you make. If you're a nut about interesting designs in code, the parts of the source he showed at the meeting were quite nifty.
test_harness just released version 0.1, and Collin is looking for people to poke at it.
