Let #10117 (http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10117) be
impractical, but minimalist example.

True. I'm just under impression of my new Django job in company where
Django is used heavily...and I see a lot of problems caused by lack of
tests. And tests are lacking because of some problems with test
creation in Django I'm trying to point on (in bad manner, right, but
being a bit depressed by running into same issues as two years ago
when I first tried to develop with Django).

OK, I accept it, althrough I still disagree.

BTW I discovered DjangoCerise project (http://xhtml.net/scripts/Django-
CherryPy-server-DjangoCerise); main CP WSGI is 44k; wouldn't be worth
trying to integrate it in django, as it's well-tested and reviewed
enough? I'd do it, if there is any chance for having it in mainline.

Probably true. I'm just in the camp that test running should be zero-
setup and as simple as possible, or dev's will not use them (and I see
that around me every day).

May I ask which one? For Selenium, I found #2867 (marked as wontfix)
and for requirements #3357 denied by core dev and #2879 being
practically dead

That is true and I'm sorry for that as I certainly have not done so
much good work as You and core devs.

It's true that I have not provided enough details in initial e-mail as
I should have. I hope I have now better explained my problems and
motivations and why I consider them crutial, coming from TDD
environment.
