[TIP] unittest2: backport of the new features in unittest for Python 2.7

[Michael Foord]

Hello all,

I don't think I announced it properly on this list, so here goes:

In Python 2.7 and 3.2 a whole bunch of improvements to unittest will 
arrive. ``unittest2`` is a backport of the new features (and tests)
to work with Python 2.4, 2.5 & 2.6. The major changes include new assert 
methods, clean up functions, assertRaises as a context manager, new 
command line features, test discovery and the ``load_tests`` protocol.

* The unittest2 Library: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/unittest2
* New and Improved: unittest2 article 
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/unittest2.shtml
* Mercurial Development Repository: <http://hg.python.org/unittest2

All the best,

Michael
