Grig Gheorghiu sent word that he has ported JUnitPerf to Python, dubbed pyUnitPerf. His blog has all the deets. He mentioned that he's been using various Python-based test frameworks to basically drive other chunks of software written in Java and C++, so he'll be using pyUnitPerf for this, as well.

One commenter calls the port "unpythonic", which sounds like a really cool name for next year's framework du jour, or a Pixar movie. Seriously, he makes a good point about doing straight ports of Java goodies to other languages. It's easy to overlook powerful features of the destination language and end up with ports that are least common denominators. Consequently, hard-core users don't want to call the code one of their own, and adoption is stifled. I don't know if that's the case here, but Grig strikes me as the type who would welcome any help making pyUnitPerf more "pythonic".
