[Tutor] Unittest not running all test cases

[Carroll, Barry]

Kent:

I just rechecked my class names, and there are no duplicates.  I was
careful to preface all of the classes in testsymc39 with 'C39...', and
used 'S25...' in testsym25.  Likewise, the classes in each module have
names that describe the type of data being tested, so names are unique
within each module as well.  

Is there a maximum length for class names?  Some of my class names are
pretty long, and only differ in the last few characters.  I'd be
surprised if that were the case in Python, but I'm short on other ideas.


Thanks for your help.  

Regards,
 
Barry
