-based test frameworks are very useful and there's
a lack of corresponding frameworks in Python. I'm thinking about tools
such as HTTPUnit, Cactus, Abbot, The Grinder, and there are many
others. I'm happy to see Jython being used more and more in such tools
though (The Grinder, Test Maker, Marathon).

At a command prompt, do "which python" to see where the python binary
