At PyCon in February, there was a presentation (lightning talk perhaps?) of 
HTMLTestRunner (http://tungwaiyip.info/software/), that sounds like it does 
much as you want.  It took me about 3 minutes to integrate with my pyparsing 
unit tests, and it is a lot neater-looking than the unittest module's 
TextTestRunner.
