Right, and to make it actually pay attention to 'test*' methods in the
class, what you're supposed to do is

        test_suite.addTest(unittest.makeSuite(TestDisposableLocks))

if you want to continue enumerating all the test classes by hand.  Or
you could use a test loader to discover all the test suite classes and
create test suites for them for you.

(Under the hood what makeSuite does is instantiate TestDisposableLocks
multiple times, passing each test name to the constructor.)
