[TIP] Ideology

Over on pygr-dev, I just came up with this bon mot:

"""
To paraphrase the regexp saying: you have a problem with your tests, so
you make your test framework more complicated.  Now you have TWO
problems...
"""

We're talking about making a number of custom extensions to unittest and
modifications to our test runner, and in doing so we're adding
significantly to the complexity of our test runner.  That Seems Bad.

Have other people run into problems doing this or should I stop worrying
and just shut up?  (hah)
