fudge tests should work fine now with 1.0.1, just run
"py.test" after install :)  

And here is how i distributed to three different platforms and
three different python interpreters in a single run: 

py.test -v --tx socket=192.168.1.106:8888 \
           --tx ssh=noco//python=/usr/local/bin/python2.4 \
           --tx popen \
           --dist=each --rsyncdir=fudge \
           --rsyncdir=../nose/nose # a nose checkout :) \
           --pastebin=all  

which results in: 

    http://paste.pocoo.org/show/135233/

Of course you can put the options into a conftest.py
(see "customize" on http://pytest.org) or a shell helper. 

cheers,
