Decorating test classes/methods makes them not found by test harness.

I'm using django.

I have some tests that I'm trying to freeze time for, but when I decorate the test method, it is no longer found by django's test framework. Same deal when I decorate the class.

$ ./manage.py test app.TestClassName
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: Test label 'app.TestClassName' does not refer to a test.

Without the decoration, the test is found (but fails, obviously).

I can freeze in .setUp() and thaw in .tearDown(), but the decorator syntax is nicer.

Okay, it looks like decorating a test method works, just not a TestCase.

This is because the decorator returns a function, and the django test runner looks for subclasses of unittest.TestCase.

I am working on a patch.
