Simple Python Testing in Silverlight with unittest

Jimmy Schementi is the program manager for the Silverlight dynamic languages integration. He has an unhealthy interest in IronRuby, and created a very impressive IronRuby tutorial that is part of the latest release. It's always nice when he does something with a Python focus, and a recent blog entry of his is particularly good - testing in Silverlight with IronPython and the unittest module.

Since doing a post about Ruby testing of Silverlight applications, I’ve felt a bit guilty about leaving Python fans in the dark. However, like Ruby, it takes very little work to run Python unit test frameworks in Silverlight, since IronPython is a very compatible implementation of Python. Though my results aren’t as exhaustive as the IronRuby examples, here’s one simple example:
