You are already supplying a custom message to ‘self.skipTest’::

    except Exception as exc:
        logging.error(exc)
        raise unittest.SkipTest("Failure running Integrity Scan ")

So you can change that message by including the text representation of
the exception object::

    except Exception as exc:
        logging.error(exc)
        raise unittest.SkipTest(
                "Failure running Integrity Scan: {exc}".format(exc=exc))

If setupClass fails, why would you want to continue? Handle the error
inside the code for ‘setUpClass’.

If that's not obvious, maybe you mean something different by “only if
setUpClass succeeds”.

> 3.  Any other suggestion welcome

Please try hard to migrate to a currently-supported Python version. The
Python Software Foundation no longer supports Python 2.6, and that
translates into a justifiable desire in the Python community to also
stop supporting it.
