What is python-subunit
Subunit is a streaming protocol for test results. The protocol is a binary encoding that is easily generated and parsed.

Subunit comes with command line filters to process a subunit stream and language bindings for python, C, C++ and shell. Bindings are easy to write for other languages. A number of useful things can be done easily with subunit - Test aggregation reported/displayed together. For instance, tests from different languages can be shown as a seamless whole. - Test archiving - Test isolation with each other can be run separately and then aggregated, rather than interfering with each other. - Grid testing deserialization to get test runs on distributed machines to be reported in real time.
