Python: ZWiki and FitTests (was Richards bench benchmark)

I see that you use ZWiki; I started using it few days ago and I like it. My question: did you succeed in getting the testing framework (http://www.zwiki.org/FitTests) to work?

It seems it is very new and it does not work out of the box,at least for me. Alternatively, which Web-based test framework (Fitnless-like) would you suggest for Python?

The question is of course open to everybody having expertise in the area.

I use ZWiki because four years ago when we tried to set up an Intranet at Kaval, we got Zope and ZWiki working very easily with little effort.

Then we tried to build on that, and improve things, and write our own products, and we encountered what seemed like a very tall and steep learning curve with Zope. We never got a whole lot further with it, but it remains for me one of the simplest combinations of things available to get a wiki set up quickly (i.e. a couple of minutes of work, post installation).

You'll notice, perhaps, that I'm using a fairly old version of ZWiki. I'm loath to update, at this point, partly because "it's working" and partly because I try to make as few changes as possible to anything we do with Zope, including attempting to figure out how to get the "new" testing framework working.(I say "new" because of course I'm now way behind the times in this area and most others of Zope.) I'm not particularly surprised to hear that you didn't get it working yourself.

Well, so far my experience with Zope closely match yours; that's why I asked here before trying touching anything ;) So, what about my second question, i.e. other fit tests for Python?
