Er, the handling of setUpModule exceptions in this way appears to be a
noseism (there is no setUpModule in python2.6 unittest or testtools as
far as I can tell). From the python 2.7 unittest docs "If an exception
is raised in a setUpModule then none of the tests in the module will
be run and the tearDownModule will not be run. If the exception is a
SkipTest exception then the module will be reported as having been
skipped instead of as an error", which implies it should be treated as
an error.
