There are equivalents to many testing tools:

rspec: I'd argue doctest does the same thing, but without being clever consultantware. I've seen passing mentions to similar things in Python.

cucumber: http://lettuce.it/

factory_girl: I can't keep up with data fixture libraries, but there's quite a few

machinist: I don't quite understand it. It seems like a mocking library to me? There's a half dozen of those at least...

shoulda: Seems like Cucumber? I don't get this one either. Just a bunch of comparison helpers for your testing?

passenger: as in mod_passenger? Technically it supports Python. mod_wsgi is very similar.

haml: there's a bunch of more-or-less direct ports.

webrat: Twill, WebTest, zope.browser are a couple.

There's a lot of testing tools in Python; this list is very out of date, but at least shows some of them: http://pycheesecake.org/wiki/PythonTestingToolsTaxonomy



I know what you mean about clever consultantware. Sometimes it seems like clever beats out practical in the ruby world.
