Package Name:

python-unittest2

Summary:

Backport of new unittest features for Python 2.7 to Python 2.4+

Description:

unittest2 is a backport of the new features added to the unittest testing framework in Python 2.7. It is tested to run on Python 2.4 - 2.6. To use unittest2 instead of unittest simply replace ``import unittest`` with ``import unittest2``. Classes in unittest2 derive from the equivalent classes in unittest, so it should be possible to use the unittest2 test running infra- structure without having to switch all your tests to using unittest2 immediately. Similarly you can use the new assert methods on ``unittest2.TestCase`` with the standard unittest test running infrastructure. Not all of the new features in unittest2 will work with the standard unittest test loaders and runners however.
