[TIP] Inheritance of TestClasses?

[Williams, James P. {Jim} (JSC-CD4)[SGT, INC]]

You have to inherit from unittest.TestCase, not object.  Also, there's no reason you can't have an __init__() method.  Just make sure you forward arguments to your parent.  This should work on Python 2 or 3.

    class TestClass1(unittest.TestCase):
        def __init__(self,*args,**kwArgs):
            super(TestClass1,self).__init__(*args,**kwArgs)
            # initialize...

        # ...etc...

    class TestClass2(TestClass1):
        def __init__(self,*args,**kwArgs):
            super(TestClass2,self).__init__(*args,**kwArgs)
            # initialize...

        # ...etc...

Good luck.

Jim
