That's right, this is not mandatory.

Let's do this:

* Can you file a wishlist bug on tweepy asking to enable the unit tests
during build time and maybe explain why that can't be enabled right now
and/or mark the bug as blocked by the unittest2 and/or vcr ITPs?

* Push and upload the changes to workaround the FTBFS.

I can't fix this bug right now because I'm about to begin my move to
another country and my workstation with my PGP key has some
connection problems during this week.

Thanks,
Miguel.
