I am not so keen for several reasons.
1. This will add a dependency on relax and currently the whole
unit_test_runner framework is competely indepdendent of relax, except
for the names of directories in search paths etc
cf lines 61-64 of unit_test_runner
import os,re,unittest,string,sys
from optparse import OptionParser
from textwrap import dedent
from copy import copy
From the point of view of independence, it makes sense to keep it separate.
2. this exception does actually get thrown, it is a true exception
within the spirit of the junit framework and not a warning
I was aware of this.
3. this is an error not a warning! The part of the message with
'warning' after it is the result of the real exception which is the
syntax exception
Wouldn't the text '***WARNING' be partly confusing to the person who
receives the message? Would they think it is a warning or an
error/exception? Wouldn't the text 'UnitTestRunnerError: ' or
something like that be better for communicating that an error
occurred?
