Perhaps you have discover a bug in 3.7 that was fixed in 3.8.  Each new 
version comes with a few hundred bug fixes, not just the new features, 
although only the latter are featured in the new version announcement.

If you are really concerned, find What's New in 3.8 and look changelog, 
linked in the first paragraph, for 'unittest' issues.
