In my experience, integration and functional testing is a complex and evolving topic, usually requiring more from the tool or framework than classic unit-testing.

Assignment for the reader: compare and contrast unittest and test.regrtest (including test.support and friends) :)

Yes, you need extra stuff to do higher level testing, but in many instances unittest still makes a nice framework to hang it on.

Cheers, Nick.
