[BangPypers] issues using constructor in unittest

[Nitin Kumar]

Hi Navin,

I can't use setUp as this will be called every time for each test cases, I
thought of using setUpClass decorator but there i can define self.

import unittest2
class XMLSupport(unittest2.TestCase):
        def __init__(self):
                super(XMLSupport,self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
                self.x = 3

        def test_3(self):
                print (self.x)
                self.x += 1

        def test_4(self):
                print (self.x)

I used this way as explained by you, still getting the same error.

Thanks
Nitin K
