Major Description
On operating systems that have Python 2.6 as the default Python (link CentOS 6), running ctest does not actually run any tests. Here is a snippet of the test output

The problem seems to be that ctest is launching unittest which is older is Py 2.6 and is not feature rich as in Python 2.7
To solve this problem, Python provides a backwards compatible unit test package called unittest2. This unittest2 backports the new features provided by unittest test framework to older versions of Python.
unittest2 is available for Python versions 2.3 thru 3.4. It offers a test launcher called unit2 which should be used by ctest.
