Subject: Merged in bugfix from PyUnit CVS for problem reported by Gary Todd.
X-Git-Tag: v2.2a3~750
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e00dde2087db2c211f9c9267659d37e3306f79d8;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

Merged in bugfix from PyUnit CVS for problem reported by Gary Todd.
If 'unittest.py' was run from the command line with the name of a test
case class as a parameter, it failed with an ugly error. (Which was a
shame, because the documentation says you can do that.)

The problem was the old 'is the class X that you imported from me the same
as my class X?' gotcha.
