I've been working on a new FIT implementation in Python.

Design goals/ideas :
* A table is a list of lists.
* Flow mode for DoFixtures part of design.
* Eliminate need for _typeDict
* uses a XML parser (minidom)
* unit tests use wiki syntax instead of HTML.
* most unit tests run without HTML dependency.
* uses and integrates with Twisted.

What works so far? (in about 700 lines of Python):
* A FitServer which works with Fitnesse.
* ColumnFixtures and RowFixtures.
* simple DoFixtures.
* Setup in suites.

Where is the code?
http://repo.or.cz/w/stuff.git?a=tree;f=pyfit

I would like to have some feedback on this work. If anyone wants to
work on this let me know. This is not a release announcement since it
is incomplete, but what works, works. I hope some of this code or
ideas can be merged back to PyFIT.
