New submission from R. David Murray <[email protected]>:

Working from the example in the docs, I wrote a test suite like this:

def load_tests(loader, standard_tests, pattern):
    for case in email.test.emailtestdb.populated_test_cases(globals()):
        standard_tests.addTests(loader.loadFromTestCase(case))
    return standard_test

This resulted in the exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/rdmurray/python/bzr/email6-local/Lib/test/regrtest.py", line 857, 
in runtest_inner
    indirect_test()
  File "/home/rdmurray/python/bzr/email6-local/Lib/test/test_email.py", line 
10, in test_main
    tests = unittest.defaultTestLoader.discover(testdir, top_level_dir=libdir)
  File "/home/rdmurray/python/bzr/email6-local/Lib/unittest/loader.py", line 
179, in discover
    return self.suiteClass(tests)
  File "/home/rdmurray/python/bzr/email6-local/Lib/unittest/suite.py", line 18, 
in __init__
    self.addTests(tests)
  File "/home/rdmurray/python/bzr/email6-local/Lib/unittest/suite.py", line 54, 
in addTests
    self.addTest(test)
  File "/home/rdmurray/python/bzr/email6-local/Lib/unittest/suite.py", line 43, 
in addTest
    raise TypeError("{} is not callable".format(test))
TypeError: [<unittest.suite.TestSuite tests=[]>, <unittest.suite.TestSuite 
tests=[]>, <unittest.suite.TestSuite tests=[]>] is not callable

(Well, that's after I enhanced the normal error message, which just says that 
'test must be a callable')

I see that loadTestsFromModule wraps what is passes as standard_tests in 
self.suiteClass before returning it, whereas it returns whatever load_tests 
returns directly.  Perhaps the wrapping needs to be done in both cases, or 
perhaps standard_tests should be wrapped before being passed to the module's 
load_tests?

My load_tests is a function in a test module, not a package __init__.
