py.test (from codespeak.net's svn) has py.test.raises.
i.e.
in test_simple.py::
import py.test
def inverse(x):
return 1/x
def test_half():
assert inverse(2.0) == 0.5
def test_raises():
py.test.raises(ZeroDivisionError, inverse, 0.0)
def test_raises_string():
py.test.raises(ZeroDivisionError, "1.0/0.0")
Surely nose has a similar feature?
