I'd like to subclass from unittest.TestCase.
What version of Python.

subclasses create null tests.
I can create this subclass and the test works:
What does 'works' mean?
class StdTestCase (unittest.TestCase):
blahblah
I bet that this (and the rest of your 'code' is not what you actually
ran. Unless blahblah is bound (to what?), this fails with NameError.
Give us what you ran so we can run it too, and modify it.
and I can create this subsubclass and the test works:
class aaaTestCase (StdTestCase):
moreblahblah
but if I create this subsubclass (or any where the first letter is
capital):
class AaaTestCase (StdTestCase):
differentblahblah
the test completes immediately without any work being done.
What does this mean? I see no difference with the following
import unittest
class StdTestCase (unittest.TestCase): pass
class lowerSub(StdTestCase): pass
class UpperSub(StdTestCase): pass
unittest.main(verbosity=2, exit=False)
# prints (3.3)

Ran 0 tests in 0.000s
OK
Same as before the subclasses were added.
