After using this a bit, it works great. I have up to now only found a 
single problem, and that is that with decorated functions it doesn't 
even get at the actual line number of the real code, so sorting by that 
number doesn't work. An example for this is 
"@unittest.expectedFailure(...)".

I can easily ignore this though, just wanted to give this feedback

Thanks again!
