Yes, you are quite right: keep it simple, stupid!

In the actual original code I had the more contorted
           self.assertEqual(None, a.set_x(1))
because I wanted to do as much as possible within the pyUnit context
and also because the original setter did a bit more behind the scenes
than is obvious from this simplified example.
