Mailman 3 Problems with a unittest example and Python 3.3 - docs

Sept. 30, 2012

      I tried the very first example I found on the Python documentation at this address: http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/unittest.html#module-unittest

    import random
    import unittest

    class TestSequenceFunctions(unittest.TestCase):

        def setUp(self):
            self.seq = list(range(10))

        def test_shuffle(self):
            # make sure the shuffled sequence does not lose any elements
            random.shuffle(self.seq)
            self.seq.sort()
            self.assertEqual(self.seq, list(range(10)))

            # should raise an exception for an immutable sequence
            self.assertRaises(TypeError, random.shuffle, (1,2,3))

        def test_choice(self):
            element = random.choice(self.seq)
            self.assertTrue(element in self.seq)

        def test_sample(self):
            with self.assertRaises(ValueError):
                random.sample(self.seq, 20)
            for element in random.sample(self.seq, 5):
                self.assertTrue(element in self.seq)

    if __name__ == '__main__':
        unittest.main()

On Python 2.7.1 this example used to work, as I was getting back this result:
...
Ran 3 tests in 0.001s
OK
but when I run this code on Python 3.3 I'm getting this error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/Users/[USERNAME]/Desktop/prova.py", line 29, in <module>
        unittest.main()
      File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/lib/python3.3/unittest/main.py", line 125, in __init__
        self.runTests()
      File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/lib/python3.3/unittest/main.py", line 263, in runTests
        sys.exit(not self.result.wasSuccessful())
    SystemExit: False
