I use the unittest module.

It is *tedious* as hell to get the test cases up and running in unittest but
I find that it always takes less time and effort in total to take the pain
up front instead of debugging "later".

Often difficulties with the test code inspires one to rethink an interface
or a design, something one would not like to do on a larger collection of
code that "almost" runs.
