automatically dump the appropriate parameters to help debugging?

Hmm, you'd have to build this yourself -- but it should be as easy as
making sure that your 'assert' statement produces the appropriate error
message.  (nose displays stdout/stderr on failure, so you could even
just print it.)

->      Along similar lines, is there a way to tell nose (which I assume would 
be the test harness framework) to log both successful and failing tests, so you 
can get a sort of aggregate view of where the problems lie?

It already does that ;)

-> 3.   
->      Does nose produce any sort of HTMLized report suitable for a continuous 
integration framework (or at least one whose primary UI is web-based)?

Hmm, not that I know of, but it wouldn't be very difficult to write, I
don't think.  I'd offer to write it but I don't have time this week; I
could certainly give you some pointers, or at least write a short
version if you felt you needed it.

-> Thanks again. And oh, BTW, congrats on defending your dissertation :-)

thanks!

cheers,
