=============== Python unittest

Checking consistency of python modules can be complex. Sometimes, it is useful to define a set of unit tests to help checking them.

While the actual test implementation is usecase dependent, Python already provides a standard way to add unit tests by using import unittest.

Using such class, requires setting up a test suite. Also, the default format is a little bit ackward. To improve it and provide a more uniform way to report errors, some unittest classes and functions are defined.
