PROTON-2181 in tests/py/test_unittest.py, try unittest, then unittest2,
otherwise monkeypatch
> Use Python's unittest (or unittest2) more widely and consistently

> Key: PROTON-2181
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2181
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Test
> Components: build, python-binding
> Affects Versions: proton-c-0.30.0
> Reporter: Jiri Daněk
> Assignee: Jiri Daněk
> Priority: Minor
>
> There are various workarounds regarding the older {{unittest}} package
> versions in the codebase.
> * the one implemented in PROTON-1001
> * another one implemented in PROTON-1129
> * the custom test framework itself, in python/tests/proton_tests/main.py
> * even more?
> Using the custom test framework is a barrier for contributions, because
> people are more generally familiar with the stdlib {{unittest}} module.
> Using variously monkeypatched unittest to deal with Python versions ranging
> from 2.6 up is not ideal either.
> One solution could be to vendor in a copy of the unittest2 sources into
> proton repository. The unittest2 module has not been updated since 2015 and
> is licensed under BSD, so it is compatible with Apache license.
> Another would be to just use unittest2 if available in the environment. If
> not available, some (new) tests could be just skipped. This is what is being
> done regarding ruby and the minitest library. Qpid Dispatch does this as well.
> One feature of the custom test framework that unittest does not support
> (without plugins) is JUnit XML reporting. Good way to get XML reporting with
> unittest is to run the tests using pytest library.
