self.obj = player.Player('Fred the Adventurer')press Ctrl+1 and it adds a suggestion to create the class Player.
Then go to
assert self.obj.name == 'Fred the Adventurer'
press Ctrl+1 and it adds suggestion: Declare field name in class Player... and so on for methods... (true, you still have to go and press some Ctrl+1s, but that should be fairly easy, especially if you had some hints on what is missing... Python has a very dynamic nature, but most of it can still be done...
I think that most Python IDEs are still not in the same level, but some day they might get there...
Being the maintaner of PyDev (http://pydev.sf.net), I think it will get there someday, true, lots of work to make it happen, right now only few things in Ctrl+1 are available like that (still, some already are)... and that's the way things work... nothing's always perfect (but at least they evolve).

Greetings, fellow Pythonistas!
I'm about to create three modules. As an avid TDD fan I'd like to create
typical 'use-cases' for each of these modules. One of them is rather large,
and I wondered if it would be easy enough to create a code skeleton out of
unit test module.
I think this is too difficult, because there are many ways to write code (even skeletons) for a use case. An easier approach would be to write the skeleton manually, embed the test cases in the doc strings and generate the test code from the doc strings. If I remember correctly IBM has published something to generate unit tests from code. Python has a doctest module to support testing derived from doc strings. This can be combined with unit tests.

You shouldn't care if your approach works for you.
