The documentation is a good starting point.  Then see the excellent:-
http://diveintopython.org/unit_testing/index.html.
Also look at the actual Python test code in the Lib\test\ directory.
Depending on the code that you're wanting to test you might also want to 
google for mock+objects, but this can wait until you've got your feet 
under the table.

HTH.
