Hooray for more guides on testing in python! Although there are a lot of mostly-equivalent tools to what I've grown to love in Ruby-land, I think the most lacking thing might be a sense of arbitrary "best practice".
The zen of python states "There should be one, and preferably only one, way to do it", which I see at the level of a line of code; However, at a higher level, I always feel like there are dozens of ways to pattern something, and none with any particular community buy-in. This leaves my integration balancing awkwardly across several different authors ideas of how things should work.
What can we do about it - How can we make the python community more opinionated? The desired end result is that software is less surprising, that common problems have a readily accessibly, highly compatible solution.
Maybe we need more snobs in Python? ;)
