Now I'm using

import unittest

But I'm not sure that it is the best choice in SAGE context.

Something like this

import unittest

class Test(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_CheckLocalTestForI123(self):
      group = gap.GenerateG(2,5,3)
      generators = gap.GeneratorsOfGroup(group);

      subgroups = map(lambda gen: gap.Group(gen), generators);
      subgroups.reverse()

      self.assertNotEqual(CheckLocalTestForI123(group, subgroups, 1621, 1947, 1521), -1)

What are you using and why?

Lots of projects (numpy, scipy, matplotlib, etc.) use nose, which you an install in Sage as a normal python package:

sage -sh
easy_install nose

See this stack overflow question for a more in-depth look at python testing packages.

Thanks! Is it possible to use `nosetests` without running `sage -sh`?

I don't know. The point behind running sage -sh is that then the Sage executables are in your path. Why don't you try it and see?
