Thanks.

 From looking at the code, as far as I can see testtools only provides 
TestResult objects and none that derive from _TextTestResult. Even the 
testtools TextTestResult doesn't derive from _TextTestResult.

The unittest test runner is TextTestRunner. This *requires* a 
_TextTestResult because the test runner calls result.printErrors. 
(Questioning the wisdom of that is perfectly valid but long pre-dates my 
involvement....)

It seems I can't use any of the testtools result objects with the 
standard unittest test runner. :-(

All the best,
