Hierarchical unit tests

[Pupeno]

Hello,
Having A(unittest.TestCase) and B(A), the unittests framework seems not to
run A's test when testing B, right ?
If so, is there any way to 'fix' it ? that is, make all tests in A, also run
for B ?
Thanks.

Wrong:

$ cat hierarchical_tests.py
import unittest

class A(unittest.TestCase):
def test_a(self):
pass

class B(A):
def test_b(self):
pass

if __name__ == "__main__":
unittest.main()
$ python hierarchical_tests.py -v
test_a (__main__.A) ... ok
test_a (__main__.B) ... ok
test_b (__main__.B) ... ok

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 3 tests in 0.001s

OK
