JFYI , we are both right

{{{
#!python

# unittest Python 2.5

    def loadTestsFromName(self, name, module=None):
        # further code omitted ;o)

        # Mainly because of this ;o)
        elif callable(obj):
            test = obj()
            if not isinstance(test, (TestCase, TestSuite)):
                raise ValueError, \
                      "calling %s returned %s, not a test" % (obj,test)
            return test
}}}
