Error when running an example

this is very strange, and I can't reproduce (on Ubuntu with Python 2.7).

I found the line of code your stack trace points to... Could you try to run the following from a Python prompt, and let me know the result:

>>> import unittest
>>> type('foo', (unittest.TestCase,), {})

does it throw the same exception you saw?

I had the above code in a test.py file and ran it from the python prompt. Here is the result.

I just noticed how you are invoking SST in your original post.

(ENV) C:\>C:\Python27\python c:\Env\scripts\sst-run yahoofinance

you are inside a virtualenv, but calling the system python version. don't do that.

if your virtualenv is named 'ENV', that is where you invoke SST from. (after you activate the virtualenv).
Something like:

(ENV) C:\ENV> Scripts\sst-run yahoofinance
