It's included in current distributions as the "unittest" module. The module docs aren't perfect (especially when it comes to the big picture), but there's a good tutorial at http://diveintopython.org/unit_testing/index.html Once you get your head around how it works, it's really quite simple to use. It also has the advantage of being one of a series of "X-unit" packages for different languages (Junit, C++Unit, etc) which all have the same organization (with allowances made for language-specific requirements). This means once you've learned one, you've got a big head start one learning another one. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
