Great, thanks. This is my first test suite, I'm just doing whatever
looks good.
What I'm finding is that while python unittest seems pretty good,
there are some things I found lacking compared to some other suites
I have used (example: tests can only pass or fail; there seems to
be no way to say "test not valid on this particular system")
I wonder if anyone has used anything better for python? A little
googling did not find me too much, except for "testoob" which didn't
to be in widespread use.

It's saying that the command line program we ran exited with an
exit code we didn't expect...

I changed this to UnexpectedExitCodeException. I tried it with
"Wrong" but to me it sort of seemed like it was trying to say
"the exit code is the thing that is wrong"-- whereas the problem
is really that the exit code we got is not the one we expected
to get.
Thanks for pointing this out, hopefully it is clearer now.
