What is it?

pytest_status_gui is only a pytest plugin, which

• starts (if not running) a small always-on-top GUI (using htmlpy) and redis db on test start
• updates the db with test run status (step running currently, for eg "Collecting Tests") and some details of the steps (like no. of tests passed) as it becomes available to the plugin.
• The GUI on the other hand periodically polls data (using js timer with 1 sec interval) from the db and updates itself.

The result is that you get some nifty test status windows that update as you keep editing files. It is inspired from pytddmon, which is more minimailistic and supports only nosetests.
