So, how would you test for what I'm proposing above?

What Python tool can you use to test whether ‘TestRightJustify’ is a
subclass of ‘unittest.TestCase’?

Maybe this helps:

    >>> import unittest
    >>> import test_foo
    >>> issubclass(test_foo.TestRightJustify, unittest.TestCase)

This is why it's a good idea to interrogate your code and make it talk,
to tell you where it came from and who it is :-)
