Looking around I found this:<br>
<a href="http://bytes.com/topic/python/answers/43330-unittest-vs-py-test" target="_blank">http://bytes.com/topic/python/answers/43330-unittest-vs-py-test</a><br>
where Raymond Hettinger no less says quite unequivocally that he<br>
prefers test.py to builtin unittest<br>
because it is not so heavy-weight<br>
<br>
Is this the general consensus nowadays among pythonistas?<br>
[Note I tend to agree but Ive no experience so asking]<br>

<br>
Both frameworks have their fans; I doubt you'll find any consensus.<br>
<br>
Pick one, learn it, and use it.  What's important is that you write<br>
tests, write lots of tests, and write good tests.  Which framework you<br>
use is a detail.<br>
