I have recently started using tcl to do this with C++ code and will soon be switching to doing it with python.
I think it is a fantastic way to arrange to test C++ and C code. Python makes an excellent test-harness, and writing interfaces for complex units of C++ code to enable them to be tested from Python is an valuable exercise in itself. It forces you to make your code inspectable and brings up all sorts of important design issues that otherwise would never occur to you. It was a lot of work to get started with this but once you put in the initial effort, it gets eaiser to maintiain. And the payoff is that it lets you write regression tests easily so that would be too hard to do otherwise. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
