Hello all! I just submitted Patch #1388073, designed to make unittest's TestCase class easier to subclass, and I'd appreciate a review of/feedback on the code there.
While recently working on a subclass of unittest.TestCase to support TODO-tests, I found a large number of __-prefixed attributes in TestCase. The presence of these attributes meant that I had to copy several methods over to my new subclass in order for things to work. The patch I've provided converts these __-prefixed attributes to _-prefixed attributes, making it much simpler to subclass TestCase. The patch is against unittest.py from SVN revision 41775. Included with the patch are "before" and "after" versions of my subclass showing the impact of the change to unittest.TestCase.
