[Pyunit-interest] Feature Request: Make TestCase a new-style class

[Jim F. <ji...@zo...>]

I typically write unit test base classes for interfaces and then
mix these base classes into test cases for implementations of the
interfaces. I'd like to use the Python 2.2 super function to make
sure that all of my setUp and tearDown methods get called, but I can't
do that because TestCase is a classic class.

I propose adding:

__metaclass__ = type

to the top of unittest.py to make sure that all of the unittest
classes are new-style classes for Python 2.2 and higher.
