I tried pyVows myself. I kinda liked the concept, but I didn't like the 
way it is reporting to JUnit format XML when using "generative testing": 
http://heynemann.github.com/pyvows/#-using-generative-testing

In Jenkins, it looked like:

Test Result : Add
-----------------
should_be_numeric 	0 ms	Passed
should_be_numeric 	0 ms	Passed
should_be_numeric 	0 ms	Passed
should_be_numeric 	0 ms	Passed
should_be_numeric 	0 ms	Passed
should_be_numeric 	0 ms	Passed

The parameters to the testing method are important when using generative 
testing, so I think they should be included in the name of the test. But 
some funny characters like
()%* I don't remember which
are causing problems in Jenkins. I was investigating some problems with 
them months ago with some other testing framework. I don't know how to 
address this problem. It may be worthy to consider making some Robot 
framework outputs plugin if generative testing is needed, or use Robot 
Framework
