The idea of unit testing/test driven development has remained 
foreign to me throughout my time trying to learn Python--by choice.  
I want to make desktop GUI applications and I don't use MVC, so 
the idea of writing tests strikes me as far more work--and a major 
delayer of getting to an application that actually does something--
than simply using the software myself and noting problems.  It 
sounds like TDD is probably the most proper way to go about things, 
but, in the interest of getting something out of Python to warrant the
time I've put into it, I favor a "good enough" approach for now.
