Sometimes i dream of someone who would do a real windows GUI frontend 
similar to TortoiseSVN's way of having right-click-directory to test
and get different views on the errors.  This real thing would also have
a real windows installer, of course. 

It's great, btw, that you consider using py.test for teaching 
automated testing courses. There were some fruitful discussions 
at EuroPython about moving towards more unified testing approaches
in Python, btw.  A couple of developer groups see the need 
but as always it's a matter of actually getting to do it.  I guess
that a one-week sprint with testing people from some major python 
projects working together would accelerate such a development 
of a unified testing approach considerably.

cheers,
