I would like to start a thread on unit & integration testing. I have two 
main questions:

1) Where should tests be located
2) Which testing framework to use

Some options for 1:
 - every Sugar project decides for itself
 - root/tests in each project
 - a meta project that houses tests for several/all Sugar projects

Some options for 2:
 - unittest
 - nose
 - py.test

My preferences:
1: root/tests for each project
2: py.test - primarily because it supports distributed testing, that 
will make support for alternate Python versions much easier (if we have 
test sufficient coverage)

Regards,

Tim.
