Comment (by voidspace):
I don't know why users of Python 2.7.2 will see a bug? The problem only
exists for unittest2 which overrode the base unittest.TestCase.setUp
surely? (So for users of Python 2.7 using unittest.TestCase directly
instead of unittest2.TestCase the problem doesn't exist - unless I'm
misunderstanding something.)
Note that just bundling the Python 2.7 version of unittest is not a good
alternative to bundling unittest2. unittest2 includes fixes for
compatibility with earlier versions of Python - plus it explicitly
inherits from the appropriate unittest classes. If you just bundled the
2.7 stdlib unittest then your TestCase would not be a subclass of the
"real" unittest.TestCase, which would likely cause problems for many test
runners.
