In Python 2.7 and 3.2 a whole bunch of improvements to unittest will arrive. ``unittest2`` is a backport of the new features (and tests) to work with Python 2.4, 2.5 & 2.6. The major changes include new assert methods, clean up functions, assertRaises as a context manager, new command line features, test discovery and the ``load_tests`` protocol. * The unittest2 Library: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/unittest2 * New and Improved: unittest2 article http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/unittest2.shtml * Mercurial Development Repository: <http://hg.python.org/unittest2 All the best, Michael
