I can't reproduce this.  In fact, my research suggests something is wrong=
 on
your system.  I suspect you have a non-standard unittest module on your s=
earch
path.  Try this and show us the results:

C:...>python
>>> import unittest
>>> unittest
<module 'unittest' from 'X'>

What do you get instead of 'X'?

>>> help(unittest.TestSuite)
Help on class TestSuite in module unittest:

class TestSuite(__builtin__.object)
 |  A test suite is a composite test consisting of a number of TestCases.=

=2E..
 |  __init__(self, tests=3D())

Do you see this?  If not, show us what you get.
