Taurus is more generic than Locust. Taurus doesn't perform load testing by itself, but it can delegate it to a number of actual test executors (JMeter, Gatling, Locust.io, Selenium, Grinder, ApacheBenchmark, etc). Another difference is that in Locust you define tests in Python while in Taurus you define tests with simple YAML syntax. In addition, with Taurus you get nice graphs and ability to execute tests in cloud, independently of the executor.
