Comment:
Paul:
We probably need to add documentation for these changes. I'm thinking in
the Testing Django document, and maybe a note in the contributing section
as well. Otherwise this looks good to me.
A summary of the patch:
The changes in tests/regressiontests/test_client_regress/models.py are to
address changes in the string output of exceptions in unittest2. Otherwise
this is just the importing of stock unittest2 with 2 changes:
* The imports inside of unittest2 where absolute (from unittest2...) --
we had to change these to import from the django source tree so they are
valid. This is the same approach taken in the simplejson module already
included in Django.
* The __init__.py was moved to another file and the new init is doing
some magic to check if the user already has 2.7 or another version of
unittest2 installed, and uses that before the bundled one. This is because
it is assumed that people might have more up to date versions of the
package than we ship.
The import for the new package is django.utils.unittest -- we made this
unittest instead of unittest2 because unittest2 is actually just the
unittest package from 2.7. So you can import django.utils.unittest in your
package and know you are getting the 2.7 version of unittest.
