On the TurboGears mailing list there is a suggestion to move away from its own test tool TestGears.
So far the opinions are all positive. Again this shows, IMHO, that this is a project with a healthy approval of "Not Invented Here".
The tool in question is Nose. See My Ro-bot Life: Announcing nose: python unittest extension.
For more detail see the mailing list thread.
Of course there are potential short term issues with new tools, but in the long term I think this is the best way to go. However, to help save Adrians blood pressure at another positive spin on something that Django does itself I will point you to a positive comment on Django's approach to testing. Although that seems similar to the approach Ian takes on Paste etc.
