tl;dr Great library, thanks for helping the Pythonistas keep up with the rubyists, can't wait to try it.

I've been developing a DSL for acceptance testing (not unlike Cucumber, but more pythonic and with further bias towards on web acceptance testing) while concurrently implementing a test suite for our startup's web application.
A tool like this has been seriously lacking within the Python community and I'd like to take the time out to say thanks!
I'm probably going to stick with my own selenium + mechanize scripts for the first version of this suite, but I'm definitely going to check this library out as we move on. I'm sick of writing multiple tests for the same functionality.
As for people who are complaining that this isn't a Cucumber replacement... you're right! However, the point of this library isn't to replace a framework like cucumber, but rather to enhance it. The idea is that if you write your cucumber/whatever tests using this library, you won't have to repeat yourself w.r.t. the various types of test you might want to investigate (e.g. a mechanize test is much faster than a heavyweight selenium run).
