[issue5538] tearDown in unittest should be executed regardless of result in setUp

[Steve Purcell]

Steve Purcell <purcell at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Indeed -- if some of the setUp code is likely to fail, that should be 
handled right there in setUp, by reversing any other setup code that may 
have executed.

It's harder to write a tearDown that will work reliably for any partially 
successful setUp.
