Summary: bad argument handling(unittest.py)

Initial Comment:
_WritelnDecorator.writeln method handles arbitrary 

number of argumetns badly.



In the following part,



    def writeln(self, *args):

        if args: self.write(*args)



since _WritelnDecorator's stream is by default 

sys.stderr,

sys.stderr.write() takes exactly one argument.



If you give more than one argument to writeln 

method,

TypeError is raised.
