14486	Change unittest / unittest2 import logic on trunk	voidspace	nobody	"The current import logic for unittest/unittest2 is:

 * If Python 2.7 use standard library unittest 
 * Try locally installed unittest2 
 * Otherwise fallback to bundled unittest2

Can I suggest changing it to:

 * Try locally installed unittest2 
 * If Python 2.7 use standard library unittest 
 * Otherwise fallback

This allows Python 2.7 users to still upgrade to a more recent version of unittest2 and use that locally. (New features added to unittest in Python 3.2 are still being added to unittest2.) Without this Python 2.6 (and earlier) users will be able to use a locally installed unittest2 but Python 2.7 users *won't*, which seems inconsistent.
