I tested my patch with test_expectedFailure.py again. The patch is not really fixes the problem described in msg215240. So, I consider it a WIP patch for now. Sorry for the noise.

Here is the output on Python 3.3:

$ python3.3 -m unittest discover -v
test_fails (test_expectedFailure.TestControl) ... FAIL
test_passes (test_expectedFailure.TestControl) ... ok

======================================================================
FAIL: test_fails (test_expectedFailure.TestControl)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/berker/projects/cpython-default/playground/test_expectedFailure.py", line 9, in test_fails
    self.assertFalse(True)
AssertionError: True is not false

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 2 tests in 0.001s

FAILED (failures=1)


And here is the output on Python 3.5 (with issue21112.diff patch):

$ ./../python -m unittest discover -v
test_fails (test_expectedFailure.TestControl) ... FAIL
test_passes (test_expectedFailure.TestControl) ... ok
test_fails (test_expectedFailure.TestTreatment) ... expected failure
test_passes (test_expectedFailure.TestTreatment) ... unexpected success

======================================================================
FAIL: test_fails (test_expectedFailure.TestControl)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/berker/projects/cpython-default/playground/test_expectedFailure.py", line 9, in test_fails

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 4 tests in 0.002s

FAILED (failures=1, expected failures=1, unexpected successes=1)
