This sounds like a very interesting and useful project for wxPython.
I'm the author of Task Coach, an application that uses wxPython as its
GUI toolkit (www.taskcoach.org). I've been trying to use test-driven
development to develop Task Coach, although I must admit I'm not
always working by the book. However, as a result I've some experience
creating unittests using the unittest.py package included in python
for wxPython related code. Task Coach includes about 1900 unittests,
but not all of those are testing the GUI of course. I'm also the
author of TreeMixin which comes with slightly less than 300 unittests
and is part of the wx.lib.mixins package. Maybe these can give you
some idea of what can and cannot be done with plain unittest.py?

Will you be creating a seperate mailinglist or hang out here? I'd like
to be kept up to date or even contribute some tests myself.

Cheers, Frank
