I don't believe this belongs in 2.4, since it can, actually, break code. Code that depends on the current situation, TestCase_attributename. Fragile code, to be sure, but still. If there were a compelling reason to backport, I guess it could be hacked to work right-ish, but subclassing TestCase in this way, while convenient, isn't important enough to warrant this (IMHO). Exactly right.

You're right. Next time I'm going to decide in favor of not backporting. I reverted both checkins, this and the urlparse one.

For 2.5, this would be a good opportunity to add additional schemes to urlparse. Candidates?
