I wrote earlier about how easy it was to add support for py.test to TextMate While it worked effectively it was really ugly as it used a deprecated feature of TextMate. TextMate's default interface to Python is called PyMate. It gives very nice, very readable output from the Python interpreter. I thought that if Python output could be so pretty and readable, it should be possible to do something similar with the output from py.test.

My efforts to create such a tool are located here PyTestMate. Please be aware that while this is quite usable for me, it may or may not work for you! There are no good installation instructions yet, and you will have to configure the bundle command yourself.

Of course all the unit tests for PyTestMate were written using PyTestMate!

I would love any feedback, good, bad or indifferent. I'll enhance it as time permits, and if you have suggestions please let me know so I can add them to my todo list.
