One small suggestion, I used to store test conditions and results in log files, and then write parsers to read the results. The formats kept changing (add more conditions/results!) and maintenance was a pain. Now, in addition to a text log file, I write a file in pickle format containing a dict of all test conditions and results. Much more convenient. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
