The following classes will inherit explicitly from the built-in
`object` type, to make all classes in the module part of the new-style
type hierarchy.

They already do. __metaclass__ = type is found in unittest.py.
Not in the copy I have. Is that in 3.x only, or in 2.x also?

>>> import unittest

True
>>> type(unittest.TestCase)
