Unittest causing sys.exit()

Question

No matter what I do sys.exit() is called by unittest, even the most trivial examples. I can\'t tell if my install is messed up or what is going on.

IDLE 1.2         


        

Answer 1

Don't try to run unittest.main() from IDLE. It's trying to access sys.argv, and it's getting the args that IDLE was started with. Either run your tests in a different way from IDLE, or call unittest.main() in its own Python process.
