Wrong:

$ cat hierarchical_tests.py
import unittest

class A(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_a(self):
        pass

class B(A):
    def test_b(self):
        pass

if __name__ == "__main__":
    unittest.main()
$ python hierarchical_tests.py -v
test_a (__main__.A) ... ok
test_a (__main__.B) ... ok
test_b (__main__.B) ... ok

Ran 3 tests in 0.001s

OK
