[issue10326] Can't pickle unittest.TestCase instances

[Michael Foord]

New submission from Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk>:

In Python 2.7 a change was introduced to TestCase which involves storing a dictionary of method objects on TestCase instances. This makes them unpickleable.

unittest2 stores strings (method names) instead of method objects (a fix to make TestCase instances copyable under earlier versions of Python). The same fix could be applied to unittest.
