I agree that test_ucn is not exploitable, but it would be nice to harden it
anyway.
Extract of the code:
self.assertEqual(unicodedata.lookup(seqname), codepoints)
with self.assertRaises(SyntaxError):
self.checkletter(seqname, None)
test_ucn downloads http://www.pythontest.net/unicode/13.0.0/NamedSequences.txt
and calls checkletter() on each line, but first it ensures that
unicodedata.lookup(seqname) works as expected.
I don't see how it would be possible to inject arbitrary Python code in the
'seqname' variable without making unicodedata.lookup() to fail.
