This reminds me a bit of my own in-progress work
     http://bitbucket.org/jfine/python-testutil/

Here's an example of how it works:

     >>> def plus(a, b): return a + b
     >>> def minus(a, b): return a - b
     >>> def square(a): return a * a

     >>> x = TestScript(
     ...     plus,
     ...     (
     ...         f(2, 2) == 5,
     ...         )
     ...     )

     >>> x.run()
     [WrongValue(5, 4)]

     >>> y = TestScript(
     ...     dict(f=plus, g=square, h=map),
     ...     (
     ...         f(2, 2) == 5,
     ...         h(g, (1, 2, 3)) == [1, 3, 6],
     ...         )
     ...     )

     >>> y.run()
    [WrongValue(5, 4), WrongValue([1, 3, 6], [1, 4, 9])]


But it's not yet ready for use.
