Along the same lines - use doctests maybe?

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        import doctest
        doctest.testmod()

A great idea. But I'd also like to see an all-in-one-place dog and pony show, constructing it and using it right next to each other.

Agreed. Such code without decent doctests is close to useless. Also - try to get decent code coverage if you can.
