How did all those angle brackets get into the file?  Are you confusing
an interactive interpreter session with running source files?

This line isn't indented properly.  It must be further from the left
margin than the class declaration.

reload() isn't safe to use, and especially on a module that's been
renamed while it was first imported.  It's a trick to speed up debugging
in the interactive interpreter, and when something goes wrong, you exit
the interpreter and try again.

Again, what are you actually doing?  Running that file, or playing
around in the interpreter?

If you run baseClass.py, and get back to the bash prompt, then nothing
will affect subsequent tests.

Either use the interpreter or run from the shell.  This mixing of the
two is mighty confusing.
