We'd certainly be interested in a better solution for IPython - I think we see more Travis builds failing because of Travis than because of the actual code. Before Travis started testing pull requests, we wrote our own test_pr.py script [1], which fetches a PR, merges it into master, tests on several versions of Python, and (optionally) posts a comment to Github with the results. This should be pretty easy to adapt to other projects - NetworkX already decide to use it [2]. With a little more code, I imagine we could configure a server to regularly scan pull requests for changes and test them. Sympy also have a system for automatically testing pull requests [3]. I think this is somewhat more advanced, with a queue on Google Appengine, and workers which pull jobs from the queue. Finally, we're keen users of ShiningPanda [4]. It doesn't test pull requests, but it's reliable, and can handle things like coverage metrics nicely.
