Thanks Lawrence.

For our IronPython project we have built our own test framework (for 
both unit and functional tests) on top of unittest.

I'm looking to create a desktop application of my own (in a few months 
once this book is finally done with) and will *probably* use wxPython.

I'm interested in what other Python programmers are using to 
functionally test desktop applications - particularly wxPython apps 
(although QT is pretty nice and worth considering).

Pywinauto looks very interesting - hmmm... Their demo on the homepage 
looks good.

Thanks
