 I was writing a series of tests for a custom command, but I get:

 '''AttributeError: 'Command' object has no attribute 'stderr''''''''

 I realized that the problem is that references to "stderr" and "stdout"
 are initialized in the execute() method!
 This makes commands classes untestable, or better, I can write tests but
 tests that are not unitary, this is against the principles of TDD, I
 should not run a command to test it, instead I should write tests for each
 single little piece of logic that makes my command do the job.

 Please, move initialization logic into __init__ so we can test commands
 methods separately.
