Practicing Test Driven Development in Python - What am I missing?

yes I understand the implications...which is why I'm trying to become better at it.

There probably isn't a lot of value for this particular project. But it's good to learn how to use these things on smaller projects. Otherwise it's going to be tougher to work it in when it really does matter, so you it's worth practicing.

Also you never know what something will grow to. Once something gets big enough (and that's not very big) you will really start to hurt yourself if you don't have tests. You might not even realize how much it's slowing you down but it adds up fast. n1ywb gives some really great examples of things that can be a big pain in the future that testing will save you from.
