 tox http://codespeak.net/tox/ offers:

  * checking your package installs correctly with different Python versions
 and interpreters
  * running your tests in each of the environments, configuring your test
 tool of choice
  * acting as a frontend to Continous Integration servers, greatly reducing
 boilerplate and merging CI and shell-based testing.

 For one thing, we would like to test lots of different Python versions
 without necessarily maintaining a lot of different buildslaves, each of
 which is there solely to run a different Python version.
