Me tool I've been squeezing py.test into my testing as well. It
allows me to do TDD off the test file of the thing that I'm creating
or changing and focus on just that without the incredibly long round
trip time for tox and friends.

I do some variation on:

    py.test -svx path/to/test/file.py

with a pre-warmed virtualenv.

My next hope is to get rid of unittest and just do the plain asserts
that py.test makes so nice and lovely.
