[IronPython] False? with Unit Test

[Dave Fugate]

Thanks for reporting this!  I believe we do already have an internal bug report on this, and I've now created a public bug on CodePlex (http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=15972) so it can be voted on.

It's the call to sys.exit that does this.

There's a subtle difference between IronPython 2.0B1 and CPython 2.5 when sys.exit is called with a boolean parameter.  CPython doesn't print the value of the parameter if it's boolean, while IronPython does.  Presumably, CPython does this for backwards compatibility with a time when it didn't have a boolean data type. I'd guess that sys.exit(False) gets the same behavior as sys.exit(0) while sys.exit(True) is the same as sys.exit(1).  But I haven't checked the CPython source to confirm that guess.

Hello List,

Found a little funny on the latest IPY.

    import unittest

    class ATest(unittest.TestCase):
        def setUp(self):
            self.pop = ""
        def test_blog(self):
            print "test"

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

Runs fine but under IPY there's a extra line with 'False' output:

test
.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ran one test in 0.096s

OK
False

Anyone had more experience with this module?

Davy
