Re: [Pyunit-interest] Assert that an Exception is NOT raised.

Thanks Noah,

I think I might be able to make that work.  The situation is this, I'm
working on some code that while broken will raise an AttributeError
Exception. I want to make a FAILED test, right now I get an ERROR test.
Problem is, I only want to check for an AttributeError, cause other
Exceptions should cause and ERROR test not a FAILED test.
