unittest.main() ALWAYS raises system exit: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/ unittest.py in runTests(self=<unittest.TestProgram object at 0x10ee670>) 795 self.testRunner = TextTestRunner (verbosity=self.verbosity) 796 result = self.testRunner.run(self.test) --> 797 sys.exit(not result.wasSuccessful()) global sys.exit = <built-in function exit> result.wasSuccessful = <bound method _TextTestResult.wasSuccessful of <unittest._TextTestResult run=3 errors=0 failures=0>> 798 799 main = TestProgram You normally don't see it b/c the python interpeter doesn't flag SystemExits at the very end (I'm not sure of the details there). For this very reason, ipython's run magic has a -e flag, which makes it ignore SystemExit exceptions, and lets you run your unit tests from within ipython in peace. Next time, ask this one on the ipython list: it was a pure accident that I caught it, I have unfortunately no time left for c.l.py these days.
