I fired up the test suite runtests.py of wxPython Phoenix and I get this:

File "C:\Program Files\Python 3.3.2\lib\unittest\runner.py", line 63, in addSuccess
    self.stream.write('.')
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface

Can you confirm whether this is a bug in the unittest framework on the Python side or in the wxPython Phoenix source code side?

wxPython tests override unittest.TextTestRunner:
    self.stream = unittest.runner._WritelnDecorator(BytesIO())

Using bytes is wrong. Output stream should be a text file.

So how exactly can this critical line of code (that you posted) be fixed to make running wxPython Phoenix tests work?

This is an issue with wxPython, please report this issue to the wxPython team.

By "output stream should be a text file", have you ment the line should be

self.stream = unittest.runner._WriteInDecorator(StringIO())

Can you provide me a little hint so that I can make a patch for the wxPython team?
