That is, they contain classes deriving from unittest.TestCase, but then print out stuff that should get compared to the output file. However, run_tests.py assumes that they are true unittest-style tests, so the comparison is never done.

I looked at these tests and think that these are actually examples not 
tests (except to say the code run). If so, then I would go with what is 
easiest.
