I think the point of Roy was that in the second case the 'self' object
contains stuff left over by previous tests, which -- if you're not careful --
might interfere with this new test.

In general however what kind of automatic instantiation should occur for
TestXxx classes is just a matter of convention.  Py's is not Unittest's and
both make some sense...
