yes and no. Its certainly doable, but I'm inclined to wait until our
test suite shakes out a little more first. We will want to get things
like doctests and the bzrlib.doc tests covered, we'll want to make sure
the type of test loaded is appropriate and that the adaption style tests
are handled correctly, as well as dealing with stale pyc files and the
like. All in all its probably worth doing, as other python test runners
do, but I'm still unhappy with all the existing ones in some respect or
another :[
