you're not passing the arguments through:

class HtmlTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
     def __init__(self,*args):
          unittest.TestCase.__init__(self,*args)
         # create a random string to use as the test identifier
         self.testId = random.randint(1,10000000)
         self.tags = []
