Is it possible to make a unittest decorator to rename a method from "x" to "testx?"

Sorry, f.__class__ is 'function', not the enclosing class. A decorator 
for a method could not get the enclosing class name until 3.3, when it 
would be part of f.__qualname__.

Use one of the other suggestions.

In 2.x, old-style classes and instances thereof do not have .__class__. 
All other objects do, as far as I know.
