This failure happens because in line 136(ish) of setuptools.command.test you are calling unittest.main passing in testRunner=None.

I don't think this is caused by changes to unittest itself and would have failed with the previous versions. Perhaps changes in distutils or setuptools?

Happy to dig further into it if needed.

Antoine,

here's a patch for your issue.
Hm.  Did you send this patch before?  I don't recall seeing it.

No, I have just created it. I can add it to setuptools issue tracker
if you think it's useful
The idea is useful; I think there might be another way to do it now that
you've given me the idea.  I'd prefer to do it in a way that doesn't copy
code, i.e., by having __getattr__ return something that makes the
distutils-level behavior the same as before, but not by copying the old
distutils code.  That having been said, this might be a good patch to go in
the meantime.

I have pushed it here :  http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue76

the tests pass using previous python interpreters,

Although it fails with the current python trunk,
it seems that unittest.main behaves differently. I am cc'ing  Michael
for some insights because I think
this has been changed lately.

I am thinking, btw, that it's time to retire the 0.6 stable branch and begin
only doing new stuff on the trunk, anyway.

+1

Maybe a final 0.6 release could be done, including the svn 1.6 patch
(or a patch to make the last 0.6.x release not suffering from svn
changes anymore
e.g. by adding a plugin behaviour)
