While running the tests through our packaging framework, the 2.7 tests worked fine with unittest2-0.5.1 (or perhaps even without unittest2), but on 3.3 there were all kinds of failures (partly, or perhaps fully, due to the way that unittest2 pulls in argparse). I was also sort of surprised that it needed unittest2 anyway, since I thought most unittest2 features had been pulled into the python stdlib.
