yes (by using doctest to test the test programs, rather than the individual
modules).

doctest is a lot more agile than traditional unittest development -- mostly
because instead of having to write both the test code and the expected
result, you just write good test code, run the tests, and verifies the output
manually before pasting it into your test script.  use your energy to come
up with good tests, not to deal with framework artifacts.
