I left a comment on rietveld.

Michael, do you think changing the imports is OK, or will this cause you some troubles with the external unittest package you maintain?

Here is the patch based on Ezio's review. Thanks!

Patch looks fine, easy enough to change for unittest2 (if I ever have the time for a new release!)
