Or time machine gone wild?
I think it is the version which automatically renames your classes
and methods based on good taste, but still has the old
assertLessEqual method at the bottom of the now 5-level deep unittest
package hierarchy (while Michael enjoys his 3251st PSF community award
after it was decided to make it a daily ceremony). pyclbr has been
patched to handle it fine, though.

Antoine.
