By “Java written all over it” do you mean that like JUnit for Java, it's an implementation of the xUnit pattern derived from SUnit for Smalltalk?

It didn't have to copy everything down to the camelCase if it was just an implementation of the xUnit pattern with no Java influence.

camelCase is idiomatic in Smalltalk, which as a language and a community was a pretty big influence on other dynamic OO languages like Python and Ruby, and from whence SUnit comes, and thus the whole xUnit world, derives.

So, it's maybe not the best evidence that the Python version is particularly a clone of the Java port.
