Hello Gintautas. Yes, I was that person.

I think there is some interest. We'll have to see if we could spare some
resources to work on this a bit.

The context where I would like to see this take us is enabling us to
easily run fast GUI tests on our Tinderbox machines. Tinderbox is a
system developed by the Mozilla project where one central server reports
the status of various Tinderbox clients. The clients can run arbitrary
tests. In case of Chandler we run various automated unit and integration
tests. GUI testing has proven problematic. What is lacking is automated
GUI tests, although we have some progress on that as well.

More generally, your test framework ported to wxPython should prove even
more interesting to the wxPython project itself I would imagine.
