Lets try and go back to something simple. In using unittest you have a couple of ways to execute your test cases but the simplest way is to have a main function in the file that contains your unittests.

For example:

import unittest

class TestSomething(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        self.message = "does this work"

    def test_message_is_expected(self):
        self.assertEquals("does this work", self.message)


if __name__ == '__main__':
     unittest.main()

Note your test cases (classes) sub class unittest.TestCase, you then use a setUp method to set any state for your test cases, and finally you'll want some methods prefixed test_ ... which the test runner will execute.

If you saved the above file into lets say test_something.py and then in a console ran python test_something.py you'd see the results of the test output to the console.

If you can re cast your example into something a little clearer using this pattern rather than the inheritance hierarchy you've used you may be able to execute your tests.

I realise this is more of a comment than an answer but I can't yet make comments.
