Well, if you truly wanted to be perverse, you could write some kind of 
decorator:

@make_long_named_test_method('some',
                             'very',
                             'long',
                             'list',
                             'of',
                             'token',
                             'fragments')
def x(self):
   blah, blah, blah

which creates a "test_some_very_long_list_of_token_fragments" method.  
But it would be a lot easier to just use sane method names.
