Thank you for the pointers , but I modified my code to use raise
instead of exception , just wondering how will I display the message
with the below code ,

Sample code :

import os
try:
    import unittest2 as unittest
except ImportError:
    import unittest

class MyTests(unittest.TestCase):
    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        #x = False
        x = None
        if not x:
            raise unittest.SkipTest(
                "class setup failed")

    def test_one(self):
        print "test_one"

    def test_two(self):
        print "test_two"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    unittest.main()

output:
