I wanted to like unittest but couldn't. So I started using py.test. I
even wrote a plugin for TextMate to interface with py.test. If I had
known about Nose I would likely have used it instead because it is
built on top of the standard module. Now I have many thousands of
lines of py.test code so am not likely to make the change.
