The latest draft is, I believe, TDD17Jul2002.pdf .  Note the other files,
including some that refer to Python.

I haven't read it yet, but danil.chess.report.txt looks very interesting.
It is titled "Developing a Python implementation of int2FischerPosition"
and appears to contain a record of the sequence of the test-driven 
development of a chess algorithm, including the *red* and green steps
along the way, beginning with the trivial test.

Okay, this isn't so much about unit-testing as it is about test-driven
development (TDD) but I suspect one could learn a fair bit from it.
