The following classes will inherit explicitly from the built-in object type, to make all classes in the module part of the new-style type hierarchy. * TestResult * TestCase * TestSuite * TestLoader * WritelnDecorator * TextTestRunner * TestProgram They already do. metaclass = type is found in unittest.py. Not in the copy I have. Is that in 3.x only, or in 2.x also?
