Like you, I used nose and then switched to pytest. The reason I proposed this for unittest is because pytest and nose and (I think) most of the other testing frameworks inherit from unittest,
not really -- they extend unittest -- in the sense that their test runners can be used with unittest TestCases -- but they don't depend on unitest. so improving unittest has downstream benefits.
only to those using unittest -- a lot of folks do use pytest or nose primarily as a test runner, so those folks would benefit. I may nevertheless propose this to the pytest people if this doesn't make
it into unittest.
Anyway, I'm just being a curmudgeon -- if folks think it would be useful and not disruptive, then why not? -CHB

Got carried away with the ranting, and didn't flesh out my point.
My point is that unittest is a very static, not very pythonic framework -- if you are productive with it, great, but I don't think it's worth trying to add more pythonic niceties to. Chances are pytest (Or nose2?) may already have them, or, if not, the simpler structure of pytest tests make them easier to write yourself.
