In principle maybe. Need to talk with the trial developers, nose developers, py.test developers etc - to get consensus on a number of internal API friction points. Some of trial's lessons might be also useful for the stdlib going forward, given the hope of doing some event-loop stuff in the core. But, I feel like this might be too much to cover at the language summit; there could be a test frameworks summit of its own, of about equivalent time and scope, and we'd still have a lot to discuss. Is there a unit testing SIG someone from Twisted ought to be a member of, to represent Trial, and to get consensus on these points going forward?

The testing-on-python mailing list is probably the best place (and if doesn't have that status already I'd be keen to elevate it to "official sig for Python testing issues" status).

Like the "massively distributed testing" use case, I'd be very happy for the standard library testing capabilities to better support this use case - but I wouldn't like to design their apis around that as the sole use case. :-)
