Well, even if "standard" is too strong a word, the DeprecationWarnings
and eventual removal of the methods surely constitute an imposition.
I understood Terry's statement as meaning that there is no commandment
to use the standard library 'unittest' module at all. If a user
doesn't like the behaviour of a module (such as 'unittest') in the
standard library, they can accept the burden of implementing one that
behaves the way they like.
I have written the few specialized test functions that I need my current
project. I did this after considering (and taking ideas from) py.test.
I will also use doctest as a supplement.
I also meant that one who does use something is free to rename it. I
commonly import xskjfl as x;-)
