That's a bummer.

Sounds like a decision to split a module into a package is a big commitment.  
Each of the individual file names becomes a permanent part of the API.  Even 
future additional splits are precluded because it might break someones dotted 
import (i.e. not a single function can be moved between those files -- once in 
unittest.utils, alway in unittest.utils).
