When I call unittest.main(), it invokes sys.exit(). I would like to run tests without exiting. How can I?

There's probably a better way that stops it from trying to exit in the
first place, but here's a quick kludge:

try:
unittest.main()
except SystemExit:
pass

sys.exit() does its job by noting the return code and then raising the
SystemExit exception, which you are free to catch.

Cheers,
Chris

try:

You most probably want this instead:

try:
unittest.main()
except SystemExit, exc:
# only exit if tests failed
if exc.code:
raise
