Initial Comment:
Refactored Lib/test/test_class.py to use unittest library instead of icky output comparison tests. Also have to delete output/test_class after adding this patch.

Note that you don't need the global statement for callLst as you aren't
rebinding it in the function.

Hi collin,

* I improved testMixIntsAndLongs. It now asserts things
* assert is banished, replaced by the correct calls
* the reason why callLst is global is because I have to track calls to
__getitem__ in some cases. Because of this, if I put callLst on the object
I end up with horrible recursive loops, or at the very least the last call
on the stack will always be __getitem__ when I get the list to inspect.
* assertLastCall only checks the last thing on the list because generally
the thing called before that is always __getitem__ or associated magic. I
don't want my tests to be bound to the  internals of __getitem__. All I
care about is that ultimately the right function was called. That said, I
modified assertLastCallWas to erase the callLst to prevent any possible
bleed-over from the previous test.

Let me know if you have further suggestions.
File Added: test_class.patch

Thanks for your effort!

This generally looks good. A few minor things:

- testMixIntsAndLongs doesn't have any assertions in it.
- "assert" statements should probably be changed to use the
failUnlessEqual/assertEqual methods.
- I'm wary of your assertLastCallWas system; I'd feel more comfortable if
you were making assertions about the entire call chain, not just its last
item. Also, something like callLst feels strange as a global. Feel free to
contact me to discuss this off-list.
