Sure , but for now Iam limited to use 2.6 , hence I cant upgrade need
to work with 2.6

I didn't understand  which line is senseless. I was trying to refer
this example on stack overflow
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5938517/not-able-call-a-local-method-from-setupclass


class TestSystemPromotion(unittest2.TestCase):

  @classmethod
  def setUpClass(cls):
    cls.setup_test_data()


  @classmethod
  def setup_test_data(cls):
    ...

  def test_something(self):
    ...


class FileSystemTest(unittest2.TestCase):
    block_address = {}
    report = ""

    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        cls.FileSystemSetup()

    @classmethod
    def FileSystemSetup(cls):
        """
        Initial setup before unittest is run
        """
        logging.info("SETUP.....Started !!!")

Sorry  I have changed this from inode_corruption' to 'test_inode_corruption

we have tearDownClass and setUpClass in python 2.6 and under unittest2

>>> help(unittest2.TestCase.tearDownClass)
Help on method tearDownClass in module unittest2.case:

tearDownClass(cls) method of __builtin__.type instance
    Hook method for deconstructing the class fixture after running all
tests in the class.

>>> help(unittest2.TestCase.setUpClass)
Help on method setUpClass in module unittest2.case:

setUpClass(cls) method of __builtin__.type instance
    Hook method for setting up class fixture before running tests in the class.
