Using a class decorator to duplicate each test into two test* methods sounds  like a good approach. Note that parameterised methods have a similar problem to parameterised modules - unittest results are reported in terms of "testmodule.testclass.testfunction", so proper attribution of results in the test output will require additional work. The separate subclasses approach doesn't share this issue, since it changes the value of the second item in accordance with the module under test.

A good parameterized implementation, though, gives the repr() of the parameters in failure output.
