Then you're a very smart guy! :-)

There are a few complications; I think they were mainly covered in a few mails
on this list a couple of months back. If you didn't already look, perhaps
you could look at the list archives and see if they answer your questions.

The interrelationship of JUnit and PyUnit together with JPython/CPython is
one of great interest to me. I have to admit that I'm currently doing Java
work with JUnit, and I'm writing the tests in Java.

I'm trying to pick out aspects of JUnit v3 that might be useful in PyUnit, but
usually I prefer to keep things simple so that my poor brain can understand
them.

Looking forward to any unanswered questions you may have,

Best wishes,
