New submission from Vratko Polak :
One particular paragraph from unittest.rst is not clear enough:
"If you want the setUpClass and tearDownClass on base classes called then you
must call up to them yourself. The implementations in TestCase are empty."
It has sparkled a debate here [0].
Example:
A class SuperTestCase, which inherits from unittest.TestCase, defines some
non-trivial setUpClass class method. Then a class SubTestCase, which inherits
from SuperTestCase, wants to have SuperTestCase.setUpClass executed as its
setUpClass.
Does SubTestCase need to override setUpClass just to call
SuperTestCase.setUpClass (as the paragraphs might suggest), or can it rely in
inheritance to have it executed without overriding?
I will create GitHub PR soon.
