Unittest2?) Michael Foord took over maintenance of unittest and released a bunch of improvements for 2.7 and 3.1, then further improvements in 3.2. unittest2 is a standalone release of this improved unittest (not sure if it’s like 3.1 or 3.2). For packaging in the 3.3 stdlib we have all new methods, and for distutils2 we use unittest2 which has them too and works with 2.4, so we have compat. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13953> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
