Run To The Future

For testing ruby (and ruby on rails) has cucumber and rspec, which seem to be pretty close to de-facto standards.

Note: you can't actually have an rspec-like app with python – this is just the way the language doesn't work like ruby. This is a good article about Ruby vs. Python which mentions

For Python/Django the situation seems to be a little more scattered, but I'm intending to use the following equivalents:

• pyccuracy (there is also lettuce) for cucumber
• nose (extension of python's unittest) for (a sort of replacement for) rspec
• The django-nose plugin for using nose when running django tests
• The nose-xcover for using nose with hudson

I'm also going to use hudson for continuous integration (here is a good description about how to get it running with django and nose).

By the way I installed pip for installing python packages and I've started using it instead of easy_install.
