I couldn't find this version in either the pyunit or Python CVS
repositories. You found a very strange version of pyunit somewhere ;-)

I'm not sure where you got that unittest.py from, but it's apparently
not from pyunit 1.4 (__version__ == "1.40"), or Python 2.2.1
(__version__ == "1.14"). Looks like you only need to place the original
Python 2.2.1 unittest.py (is most recent available) there again.

The __version__ thing is indeed confusing, as it depends on wether you
use pyunit from Python or from the pyunit project itself. All it really
marks, however, is the revision number of the file in the respective CVS
repository.
