[Baypiggies] A talk on testing frameworks

[Jesse Gough]

I am curious about this (mocking) as well. I have used unittest with
nose, and find it to be pretty adequate for testing. However, mocking
is somewhat of a pain in any language, and I have not seen an obvious
choice for how to do this in python. We have some success using
google-test and google-mock for C++, and I have not seen anything
similar for python.
