I've never seen the value in ladling English all over my test
cases. How is your code better than what you can currently do
with unittest?:<br>
<br>
def test_should_throw_bar(self):<br>
"""foo should throw bar"""<br>
with self.assertRaises(BarException):<br>
foo.doStuff()<br>
<br>
Not to mention, the snippet you presented isn't valid Python, yet
involves a lambda...<br>

Agreed, in this way you throw away the help given from your editor
to check your syntax validity,<br>
writing the same code (if not harder).<br>
<br>
I like the idea of hierarchical context, but it also looks like that
every time you have to do that probably<br>
the code smells bad already..<br>
