Or, try another trick I picked up somewhere.  When you're done defining 
your test classes, delete the intermediate base class, so it won't be 
autodiscovered!

class MyBaseTestClass(unittest.TestCase):
   pass

class MyRealTest1(MyBaseTestClass):
   pass

class MyRealTest2(MyBaseTestCalss):
   pass

del MyBaseTestClass
