...or perhaps cooler:
http://docs.python.org/lib/node109.html

something like:

from string import Template

def GetPyContents(module):
	boilerplate = Template( \
"""
class $moduleName:
	pass
	
if __name__ == '__main__':
	import unittest
	unittest.main('${moduleName}_t')
""")
	
	return boilerplate.substitute(moduleName=module)
