Michael: Do you disagree with assertRaises() returning the exception object on 
principle?  Or is this just the consensus that you got from the mailing list, 
including Guido's comment.  My particular use case is that I want to check 
certain attributes being set on the raised exception and I feel that the 
context manager approach is overkill for my tests since it's just one method 
call in the context manager.  I don't understand why it is considered "odd" for 
assertRaises() to return the result for further inspection... I need to get it 
some way and assertRaises() has a reference to it.  Thanks for considering this 
request further.
