Unit tests with with assert raise exception

I just stumbled over this type of code and am bit puzzled by its functionality in unit tests:

with self.assertRaises(MyException):
    foo(some_value)

where foo throws MyException

How does this fit together?

This is the test of function foo that checks whether it raises MyException or not. The test has positive result if it does, otherwise, it's result is negative.
