I think so: I like to use the testing mechanism in setuptools/distribute and run tests via `python setup.py test`. Eric Holscher wrote about the approach: http://ericholscher.com/blog/2009/jun/29/enable-setuppy-test-your-django-apps/. A good example in some code I've written is https://github.com/revsys/django-fack. The important parts are in setup.py, which does:: ... test_suite = "fack._testrunner.runtests", tests_require = ["mock"], ... So then fack/_testrunner.py is the test harness itself. You also might want to check out the tox.ini there too. Tox (http://tox.rtfd.org/) automates testing against multiple Python versions (and other types of variable dependencies) and can smooth out some of the steps in getting quality repeatable testing working.
