For what it's worth, I've also coded a simple py.test skeleton generator,
which does have some funky features like creating working tests using existing
doctest strings in the module. For simple cases, tests work out of the box,
but mostly I use it to save typing. Of course, you'd be better off using TDD,
but the program can help you there too; it is able to create a module skeleton
out of py.test suite, though it is not very mature yet. You can grab it from
http://majakari.net/dl/pytestgen/ if you wish to try it.
