The unittest module runs a setUp and tearDown before each test case.
If that is too high-frequency, why not just do something like

class app_adminfunc(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self): pass
    def tearDown(self): pass
    def allYourTestCase(self):
        def test01(): pass
        def test02(): pass

since python is so mellow about nesting functions and classes and
such.
