--------------------------------------
Summary: Unable to run system tests on CentOS 6 (Python 2.6)
Key: DISPATCH-894
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-894
Project: Qpid Dispatch
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Tests
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: Ganesh Murthy
Assignee: Ganesh Murthy
Fix For: 1.1.0
On operating systems that have Python 2.6 as the default Python (link CentOS
6), running ctest does not actually run any tests. Here is a snippet of the
test output

The problem seems to be that ctest is launching unittest which is older is Py
2.6 and is not feature rich as in Python 2.7
To solve this problem, Python provides a backwards compatible unit test package
called unittest2. This unittest2 backports the new features provided by
unittest test framework to older versions of Python.
unittest2 is available for Python versions 2.3 thru 3.4. It offers a test
launcher called unit2 which should be used by ctest.
