http://pypi.python.org/pypi/unittest2 says "There are several places in unittest2 (and unittest) that call str(...) on exceptions to get the exception message. This can fail if the exception was created with non-ascii unicode. This is rare and I won't address it unless it is actually reported as a problem for someone." It is a problem for us now that we've re-rooted all our TestCases on top of unittest2 at work. :) The solution I'm leaning towards is monkey-patching the new traceback._some_str implementation in at unittest2 import time.
