[py-dev] unittest2 plugin system for python stdlib

[holger krekel]

Hi Philippe, (CC Michael (who can post as well)),

thanks for the pointer!  Michael and me discussed plugin system ideas
on several occassions, last at EuroPython2010 a week ago.  I tried to give
early feedback and he actually ported two py.test plugins.  I haven't looked at
his recent work and somewhat long-ish emails, though.  I guess i am going to let
the dust settle a bit, maybe steal back some ideas and aim at more testing tool
convergence (which was one topic of my discussions with Michael and Jason at
some point). 

best,
holger
