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.
