I've just uploaded a trio of unittest-related patches: #1550272 (http://python.org/sf/1550272) is a test suite for the mission-critical parts of unittest.
#1550273 (http://python.org/sf/1550273) fixes 6 issues uncovered while writing the test suite. Several other items that I raised earlier (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-August/068378.html) were judged to be either non-issues or behaviours that, while suboptimal, people have come to rely on. #1550263 (http://python.org/sf/1550263) follows up on an earlier patch I submitted for unittest's docs. This new patch corrects and clarifies numerous sections of the module's documentation. I'd appreciate it if these changes could make it into 2.5-final or at least 2.5.1. What follows is a list of the issues fixed in patch #1550273: 1) TestLoader.loadTestsFromName() failed to return a suite when resolving a name to a callable that returns a TestCase instance. 2) Fix a bug in both TestSuite.addTest() and TestSuite.addTests() concerning a lack of input checking on the input test case(s)/suite(s). 3) Fix a bug in both TestLoader.loadTestsFromName() and TestLoader.loadTestsFromNames() that had ValueError being raised instead of TypeError. The problem occured when the given name resolved to a callable and the callable returned something of the wrong type. 4) When a name resolves to a method on a TestCase subclass, TestLoader.loadTestsFromName() did not return a suite as promised. 5) TestLoader.loadTestsFromName() would raise a ValueError (rather than a TypeError) if a name resolved to an invalid object. This has been fixed so that a TypeError is raised. 6) TestResult.shouldStop was being initialised to 0 in TestResult.__init__. Since this attribute is always used in a boolean context, it's better to use the False spelling.
