... well ... AFAIK, twill can be used together with doctest for web
testing. If this is the case (... I couldnt try twill because of what
*I think* is a bug ;) then doctests can be loaded by using either
doctest unittest API or dutest ... so this means that there is a way
to combine web testing and unittest ...

... and this is consistent with the roadmap I presented in a separate thread ...

... and the different states for the tests is similar to the warnings
UC I mentioned in a separate thread.

Is unittest.TestResult fine for you ? Yu can even extend the base
TestResult class and e.g. save your results in a Project Metrics
Repos, or do whatever you want with them ... is that ok ?

+1 ... unittest.TestResult, and tools, are already there ... ;)
